AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Volkswagen has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 25,179 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with brakes, steering, and suspension components indicate potential underlying neglect or poor maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 7,841 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low-mileage period (115 miles in 14 days) is typical for a retest.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent annual mileage of 7,841 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
- All major failures were promptly rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
