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 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 22,665 miles. The mileage is consistently low, but the vehicle's age and persistent safety-critical failures make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,355 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 86,358 miles recorded.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in 4 separate MOT tests (Jan 2023, Jan 2024, Jan 2025, Feb 2026).
  • Recurring suspension arm corrosion (Jan 2023, Jan 2024) and shock absorber wear (Jan 2023, Feb 2026) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Engine/Oil major failure (Jan 2025) and Central Lower Prop shaft bearing housing excessive play (Jan 2025) are significant issues.
  • Brake disc corrosion (Jan 2015, Jan 2025) and suspension bush wear (Jan 2014) show a history of deferred maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 5,355 miles per year, indicating light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until February 2027, confirming current roadworthiness status.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
