AI verdict AVOID 31/100
AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Volkswagen has 22 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 12,864 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage and inconsistent usage patterns further complicate its assessment.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jul 2021 (228 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Oct 2023 (70 mi/yr equivalent), despite a valid MOT.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in 6 separate MOT tests (e.g., Jul 2021, Oct 2023).
- Recurring corrosion advisories on the front subframe and suspension arms across multiple tests.
- Major failures for suspension and emissions systems, with no clear resolution pattern.
- Mileage anomalies: extremely low usage (e.g., 209 miles in 12 months before Jul 2021).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed for 2010 vehicle).
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2010 model is excellent.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2023, despite previous low usage.
