This 2010 Volkswagen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 37,968 miles. While these were addressed, the consistent need for repairs suggests a higher ongoing maintenance burden.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,696 miles/year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 2019 to 2022, but no suspicious anomalies.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Aug 2019) escalated to dangerous failures (Aug 2020).
- Brake disc wear advisories (Sep 2021) and efficiency failures (Aug 2020) indicate a history of brake system neglect.
- Suspension arm and anti-roll bar linkage wear (Aug 2020) and coil spring advisories (Aug 2020) point to ongoing suspension component wear.
- The vehicle is currently Untaxed, requiring immediate attention to tax status.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-14, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- All previous MOT failures and advisories were immediately rectified, showing responsive ownership.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms a safe and reliable vehicle.
