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 26 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 24,271 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a history of dangerous tyre defects and a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 19-year-old car, presents significant and unresolvable risks.

The vehicle exhibits extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,576 miles per year, with suspiciously low usage recorded before July 2023 (105 mi/yr equivalent) and July 2024 (350 mi/yr equivalent).

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Jun 2021, Jun 2022, and Jun 2023, indicating severe neglect of safety-critical wear items.
  • Recurring corrosion advisories on the Nearside Front Inner Suspension arm (Jun 2021) and Offside Front Suspension arm (Jun 2021) escalated to MAJOR failures by Jul 2024, indicating structural decay.
  • The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage (3,576 mi/yr) for a 19-year-old car is a major red flag for potential long-term storage or neglect.
  • A 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2007 vehicle is highly unusual and suggests a data anomaly or a vehicle that has undergone significant changes, raising serious questions about its provenance and safety.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until August 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for the immediate future.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history, as all readings are sequential and plausible.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2007 vehicle is a positive indicator of its inherent safety design, despite the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent MOT history, with all failures and advisories being addressed and retested, showing no gaps in inspections.
