AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Volkswagen has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 19,180 miles. The recurring tyre advisories and subsequent failure indicate a lack of proactive maintenance.
The vehicle shows normal usage, averaging 10,872 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 19,180 miles recorded by Feb 2021.
Things to check
- Jan 2026 MOT failure for dangerous tyre defects (all four tyres) after years of advisories.
- Feb 2021 advisory for all four tyres cracking, escalating to dangerous failure in Jan 2026.
- Jan 2024 advisories for worn front and rear tyres, indicating a pattern of neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until Feb 2027, demonstrating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No recurring major mechanical failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-designed vehicle.
