This 2013 Volkswagen has 3 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 81,798 miles. While it passed subsequent MOTs, the high usage and past failure warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows high annual usage at 18,716 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles, with a notable spike to 81,798 miles by Oct 2016.
Things to check
- High annual mileage of 18,716 miles/yr (Oct 2016: 81,798 mi) suggests heavy wear.
- Major failure on 2016-10-11 for rear shock absorber fluid leak on both sides.
- MOT expired 2018-11-27; current status is 'SORN' with no active MOT.
- Brake system failure in Oct 2016, though retested and passed same month.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good structural integrity.
- No recurring major failures or advisories on critical systems like brakes or suspension.
- Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of the 2016 shock absorber failure.
- Relatively low insurance group (27–32) for a 2013 diesel vehicle.
