This 2018 Volkswagen has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 44,866 miles. The high annual mileage for its age also indicates increased wear and tear.
Mileage is consistent, averaging 15,557 miles/year, but a 2023 service gap is concerning for maintenance.
Things to check
- 2023 MOT gap suggests a period of unrecorded use or lack of servicing.
- Recurring registration plate lamp advisories (Jan 2025, Dec 2025) indicate an unresolved issue.
- High annual mileage (15,557 mi/yr) for a 2018 vehicle suggests increased wear and tear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until January 2027, offering significant peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-protected vehicle.
