This 2013 Volkswagen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 3,869 miles. The recurring brake advisories and a current shock absorber advisory also warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 3,869 miles over 13 years, with a suspiciously low 63 miles/year before Oct 2017 and a significant 14,105 miles/year jump before Dec 2020.
Things to check

- Failed MOT on 2017-10-18 for a tyre pressure monitoring system warning lamp.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (2016-09-29, 2017-10-18) suggest ongoing wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-04, providing immediate peace of mind.
