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 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 44,635 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with critical safety components warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,759 miles per year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 2019 to 2022, but no suspicious decreases or round numbers.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Apr 2019 and Jul 2020, indicating severe safety neglect.
  • Recurring suspension failures (coil springs, shock absorbers) in 2021, 2023, and 2024, suggesting chronic wear.
  • Major brake failure in Jul 2020, followed by advisories in 2010 and 2023, pointing to ongoing brake system issues.
  • Offside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak advisory in Jul 2021, a recurring issue.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 19 years, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
