This 2015 Volkswagen has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 20,066 miles. However, a pattern of recurring brake and tyre advisories, escalating to dangerous failures, indicates a history of maintenance neglect.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,341 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, showing normal usage.
Things to check
- Dangerous brake failure on 2023-09-01 (rear discs seriously weakened) after 4 years of advisories.
- Dangerous brake failure on 2023-09-01 (nearside front seriously weakened) after 4 years of advisories.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2019, 2020) and failures (2020) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
- Service gap in 2025 suggests a period of unrecorded use or lack of maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-15, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, indicating no odometer fraud.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like steering or suspension.
