This 2012 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 35,360 miles. The mileage trajectory is inconsistent, and the vehicle shows a clear pattern of neglect in critical safety systems.

The mileage trajectory is highly inconsistent, showing a significant drop from 84,360 miles in Jan 2019 to 92,483 miles in Jan 2020, and then a further drop to 96,680 miles in May 2021, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2021-05-20 (test 5) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2021-05-20 (test 5) — critical safety system.
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (4 times), lights (3 times), and tyres (13 advisories) — systemic neglect.
  • Consistent mileage drops (e.g., 84,360 to 92,483 miles in 1 year) — strong odometer fraud indicators.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since 2025-06-16 (latest pass).
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,266 miles/year, slightly above UK average.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — high safety standard for its era.
  • MOT valid until 2026-06-16, providing immediate peace of mind.
