AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Volkswagen has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 39,676 miles. The mileage is consistent, but the repeated advisories on critical safety components warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 9,294 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (7) across 3 tests (Jul 2020, Jul 2021, Jul 2022) suggest ongoing wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (5) across 3 tests (Jul 2020, Jul 2021, Jul 2022) indicate a pattern of neglect.
- Shock absorber fluid leak (2.7.3) failure on 2018-03-16, though rectified, is a structural concern.
- Engine covers and undertrays noted in 2017-03-22 and 2018-03-16 MOTs, preventing inspection of components.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, indicating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,294 miles/year, showing no signs of odometer fraud.
