AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Volkswagen has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 19,684 miles. However, a pattern of recurring minor failures and advisories, particularly in the brake and lighting systems, warrants careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,950 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 19,684 miles recorded since registration.
Things to check
- Recurring brake system advisories (Aug 2022, Mar 2024) suggest ongoing wear and potential future costs.
- Headlamp failures (Mar 2024) and advisories (Aug 2022) indicate a history of electrical issues.
- Exhaust silencer insecurity (Mar 2024) points to a past repair that may not have been fully robust.
- Shock absorber misting (Mar 2024) is a common wear item but warrants verification of current condition.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent low mileage (5,950 miles/year) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
