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 suspension arm failures and advisories across 5 tests (Oct 2021, Jun 2022, Jun 2023, Jun 2024, Jun 2025).
  • 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.
