This 2014 Volkswagen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 50,821 miles. A DANGEROUS suspension defect was noted in May 2026, which is a significant red flag for a 12-year-old vehicle.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,511 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2022 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS suspension defect recorded on 2026-05-29 (test 10) — a critical safety concern.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories on 2025-03-25 and 2026-05-29 indicate a systemic weakness.
- Recurring tyre advisories on 2019-04-13, 2020-10-01, 2025-03-25, and 2026-05-29 show persistent wear.
- Major failures for brakes (3 times), engine/oil, windscreen, and emissions across multiple tests.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-28, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
