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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 18,152 miles. While mileage is low, a significant mileage anomaly before 2021 and a history of dangerous defects warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (93 mi/yr equivalent) before April 2021, which is a significant anomaly for a 2015 car.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 13 tests (Mar 2018, Apr 2023, Apr 2024, Apr 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 5 tests (Mar 2020, Apr 2023, Apr 2024, Apr 2025) suggest ongoing issues.
  • Brake lever had abnormal movement (MAJOR failure, Mar 2019), a serious safety concern.
  • Windscreen wipers failed to clear effectively (PRS, Mar 2020) and were repeatedly noted.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until April 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects have been left unresolved.
