AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Volkswagen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 72,475 miles. This, combined with a 2013 MOT failure for the parking brake, makes the vehicle's true condition and history highly questionable.

The mileage trajectory shows a critical decrease from 81,586 miles in Oct 2011 to 0 miles in Jan 2013, followed by suspiciously low readings, indicating a high risk of odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Oct 2011 (81,586 mi) and Jan 2013 (0 mi) — possible odometer tampering.
  • Mileage decreased from 81,586 miles (Oct 2011) to 0 miles (Jan 2013) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Mileage consistently shows 0 miles for multiple years (Mar 2023, Mar 2024) — highly suspicious.
  • 2013-01-15 FAILED MOT for parking brake efficiency — a safety-critical system failure.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
  • Consistent annual mileage before 2011 (7,190 miles/year) — suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since 2013 — the most recent pass was clean.
  • The 2019-03-01 advisory for front tyres worn close to legal limit and the 2020-03-01 advisory for rear tyres slightly damaged are recurring wear items.
