AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 40,485 miles. The mileage trajectory shows a significant anomaly in the early years, and the vehicle's age combined with this history makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows an unusually high mileage jump of 26,316 miles/year equivalent before March 2015, followed by significantly lower annual usage, indicating a potential odometer fraud or a major change in usage.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY: 3 major failures (Aug 2022, Oct 2023, Dec 2024) and 14 related advisories on brakes, a clear pattern of neglect.
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: Unusually high mileage of 26,316 miles/year equivalent before March 2015, followed by significantly lower annual usage.
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: Mileage of 40,485 miles in March 2015 is implausibly low for a 4-year-old vehicle, suggesting fraud.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
