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 76% pass rate and 29,627 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of tyre-related advisories and failures, combined with low recent usage, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle exhibits a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 5,256 miles per year since 2018, with a notable period of very low usage (825 miles in 2023) and recent very low usage (1,091 miles in 2022).
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Aug 2024): Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm 195/65/15 (5.2.3 (e))
- DANGEROUS defect recorded on 2024-08-27 for Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements.
- Recurring tyre advisories and failures across 8 tests since 2010, escalating to dangerous in 2024.
- Electronic stability system warning lamp indicates a fault on 2013-04-10, a safety-critical system.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-07, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected in the MOT history.
- Immediate retests for failures, showing issues were addressed and the vehicle was made roadworthy.
- No recurring major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects in the MOT history.
