Insight summary

Volkswagen Eos is a rare model in this snapshot, with 9,593 represented vehicles and 0.02% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 73.4% from 87,094 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 53. The current pool shows an average of 103,006 miles and an average age of 15.9 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 103,006 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are windscreen damage, coil springs and parking brake. The practical read is that the Volkswagen Eos looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
