This 2014 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 46,095 miles. While recent advisories are positive, the vehicle's past maintenance and mileage integrity warrant careful consideration.

Things to check

- Offside Front Inner Suspension arm attachment bracket/mounting damaged (Aug 2023) and Nearside Front Inner Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (Aug 2024).
Working in its favour
