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

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.
