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 23 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 42,281 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring minor and major defects, particularly with tyres and headlamps, indicates a history of reactive maintenance.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent, normal usage with 42,281 miles over 19 years, averaging 6,269 miles/year, which is below the UK average of 8,000.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 12 tests (2019–2026) suggest chronic wear issues.
  • Recurring headlamp advisories (2019–2024) escalated to major failures, indicating a persistent electrical issue.
  • Engine oil advisory noted in 4 separate tests (2019–2026) points to a recurring maintenance concern.
  • Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover advisories in 2 separate tests (2022, 2023) highlight suspension wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age (6,269 mi/yr) suggests light, non-abusive use.
