AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 69,637 miles. The mileage trajectory is consistent, but the vehicle's safety record makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,652 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but the MOT history is highly problematic.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2024): Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
  • 2015-06-29: Failed MOT with dangerous tyre defects and worn brake discs.
  • 2019-08-2019: Recurring tyre advisories escalated to dangerous failures by Sep 2020.
  • 2022-10-2022: Failed MOT with dangerous tyre defects and worn brake discs.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 13 years, averaging 9,652 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT records.
  • Passed 8 out of 12 MOT tests, indicating some periods of roadworthiness.
  • Valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
