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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 44,499 miles. This significant mileage anomaly, combined with a 19-year-old vehicle, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The odometer reading of 44,499 miles in Feb 2009 is highly suspicious, as it was followed by a 19,000-mile decrease to 115,101 miles in Jul 2012, indicating potential tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jan 2012 (197,843 mi) and Jul 2012 (115,101 mi) — possible odometer tamper
- Mileage decreased by 19,000 miles between Jan 2012 (197,843 mi) and Jul 2012 (115,101 mi) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
- Vehicle is 19 years old (first registered Jan 2007), well past typical service life and safety standards.
- MOT expired 2015-07-16; vehicle has been off-road for 9+ years, likely in poor condition.
Working in its favour
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating the vehicle has been off-road for many years.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features for a 2007 model.
- No current MOT required, avoiding immediate re-test costs or potential failure.
- Low insurance group (27–32 out of 50) for a 2007 diesel, potentially lower running costs.
