This 2002 Volkswagen has 19 MOT tests on record with a 53% pass rate and 100,200 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2016-08-18, indicating it has been off-road for years.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between May 2009 (124,585 mi) and Apr 2010 (13,220 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased significantly between May 2009 (124,585 mi) and Apr 2010 (13,220 mi), suggesting odometer tampering.
  • 9 MOT failures and 7 major defects across critical systems (brakes, lights, emissions, suspension) indicate severe neglect.
  • The vehicle's MOT status is 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2016-08-18, meaning it has been off-road for years.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a strong safety foundation for a 2002 vehicle.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, as the last valid MOT expired in 2016, indicating no current roadworthiness concerns.
  • The vehicle has a long history of consistent MOT testing, with 19 tests recorded over its lifespan.
