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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 27,106 miles. However, a pattern of tyre and brake advisories, including a dangerous tyre failure, indicates a history of wear and tear issues.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,195 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Dec 2025): Offside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint likely to become detached (5.3.4 (
  • Dangerous Nearside Rear Tyre defect on 2018-02-26 (46,664 mi) — immediate safety concern.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (2017-02-22, 2019-02-26) and tyre advisories (2019-02-26) across multiple tests.
  • Major Nearside Rear Coil Spring fractured on 2018-02-26 (46,664 mi) — significant suspension wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-07, providing peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (9,195 mi/yr) for a 2013 vehicle.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
