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 16 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 41,521 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage trajectory warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent low annual mileage, averaging 7,674 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 12-year gap in MOT history from 2013-2022.
Things to check
- Recurring shock absorber advisories (2015, 2015, 2020, 2023) indicate a persistent wear item.
- Front brake pads were noted as 'wearing thin' on 2013-08-22 and 2013-10-07, suggesting a history of brake maintenance.
- A 12-year gap in MOT history from 2013-2022 is highly unusual and requires a clear explanation from the seller.
- The vehicle is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge of £12.50 in London.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- The vehicle has a clean MOT pass record with no failures recorded across 8 tests.
- Consistent low annual mileage of 7,674 miles/year, well below UK average, suggests light use.
- No dangerous defects or major failures are present in the MOT history.
