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 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 103,032 miles. However, the high mileage and previous tyre issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 16,422 miles/year, with a significant drop from 9,354 miles/year (Jul 2018) to 3,078 miles/year (Aug 2020), indicating a change in usage patterns.

Things to check

  • High annual mileage of 16,422 miles/year suggests increased wear and tear.
  • Single DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2020-08-05 for Nearside Front Tyre.
  • Mileage dropped significantly from 9,354 miles/year (Jul 2018) to 3,078 miles/year (Aug 2020).
  • MOT expired 2021-08-09; current MOT status is 'Not valid.'

Working in its favour

  • Clean recent MOT pass on 2020-08-05 after addressing the dangerous tyre defect.
  • No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) in the MOT history.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending service intervals.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
