AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Volkswagen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 32,221 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with critical safety components warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The vehicle shows normal usage averaging 8,636 miles/year, but a significant anomaly exists: only 46 miles were recorded between registration in January 2011 and the first MOT in November 2018, indicating a period of prolonged inactivity.
Things to check

- Recurring brake disc failures and advisories across 3 tests (Oct 2021, Jun 2022, Jun 2024).
- Recurring anti-roll bar link failures and advisories across 3 tests (Oct 2021, Jun 2022, Jun 2024).
- Dangerous tyre failures on 2 separate occasions (Jun 2022, Jun 2025).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until June 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,636 miles/year since 2018, suggesting regular use.
- No major structural corrosion or chassis issues flagged in the MOT history.
- All past failures were promptly rectified and retested, demonstrating responsive ownership.
