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 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 15,666 miles. While many of these have been addressed, the sheer volume of advisories and failures warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage, averaging only 5,349 miles per year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 3,471 miles/year between Sep 2023 and Oct 2024).

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 7 tests (e.g., Oct 2024, Oct 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 7 tests (e.g., Jul 2018, Sep 2020, Sep 2021) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
  • Recurring exhaust advisories across 5 tests (e.g., Jun 2014, Jun 2015) point to a common wear item.
  • Two failures in 2015 (headlamps) and 2024 (suspension) with no defect details are a concern.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until September 2026 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (5,349 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
