AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Volkswagen has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 25,405 miles. The vehicle's age and persistent mechanical issues make it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 25,405 miles over 19 years (Jan 2007 to Jan 2026), averaging only 5,167 miles per year, which is suspiciously low and indicates potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY GAPS: No MOT recorded for 19 years (Jan 2007 to May 2019), a critical red flag for unverified roadworthiness.
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: Recorded 25,405 miles over 19 years, averaging only 5,167 miles/year — a clear odometer fraud indicator.
  • RECURRING MAJOR FAILURES: Both rear suspension mounting points excessively corroded (May 2019), and both track rod ends with excessive play (May 2019), indicating deep structural neglect.
  • CRITICAL SAFETY RISK: Multiple major failures in suspension and steering systems, combined with a 19-year MOT gap, makes this vehicle a safety hazard.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a strong safety foundation for its age.
  • MOT Currently Valid: Vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, confirming current roadworthiness status.
  • No Recent Major Failures: The most recent MOT (Jan 2026) passed after addressing a minor headlamp issue, showing some recent care.
