This 2017 Volkswagen has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 19,166 miles. The car's history shows a consistent owner, but the repeated wear items suggest potential underlying issues.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,679 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and the recent low annual usage (e.g., 2,993 miles in 2023) is typical for a 9-year-old vehicle.

- Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2025-07-01 MOT, indicating a critical safety failure.
- Recurring brake advisories across 4 separate tests (2020, 2022, 2023, 2024) suggest a systemic wear issue.
- Major failure for front windscreen wiper on 2021-11-25, though immediately rectified, points to owner diligence.
