This 2011 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 21,777 miles. The vehicle's age and pattern of neglect make it a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 63,797 miles in Sep 2019 to 71,446 miles in Sep 2020, indicating a 7,649-mile reduction over 12 months, which is highly suspicious.
