This 2013 Volkswagen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 46,328 miles. However, a pattern of recurring advisories on critical systems, including a major engine failure, raises significant concerns about long-term reliability and maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,790 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Major Engine/Oil failure on 2025-10-13 (PRS) after 112,857 miles, a serious defect.
  • Recurring Tyre advisories (Jun 2023, Oct 2025) and Lights (Jun 2023, Oct 2025) across multiple tests.
  • Recurring Suspension arm advisories (Oct 2025) and Brake system advisories (Jul 2024) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (Oct 2025) is a critical safety system failure.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-30, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age, suggesting regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • Immediate retests for failures show issues were addressed promptly.
