This 2014 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 76,309 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2027, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 14,421 miles per year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 5,803 miles from Apr 2023 to Mar 2025), indicating a change in driving patterns or potential issues.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 9 tests (Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Apr 2021, Mar 2026) indicate chronic wear.
- Brake system failures and advisories on 4 tests (Mar 2020, Apr 2022) suggest a pattern of neglect.
- Engine MIL failures on 2 tests (Apr 2022, Apr 2024) point to potential engine management issues.
- Shock absorber advisories on 7 tests (Mar 2017, Mar 2018, Mar 2019, Apr 2021, Apr 2022, Apr 2023, Apr 2024) show consistent wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component life.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good structural integrity.
