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 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 22,472 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,474 miles per year, with a significant 3-year period (May 2021-May 2023) showing only 17 miles of travel.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded on 3 separate occasions (May 2023, May 2024, May 2025).
  • Recurring major failures in lights, suspension, emissions, brakes, and steering across multiple years.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (5,474 mi/yr) for a 16-year-old vehicle, raising questions about its true condition.
  • First MOT test on 2013-06-13 is 3 years late, indicating potential non-compliance or administrative issues.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until June 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a strong safety focus for this model.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history without any suspicious gaps or spikes.
