AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Volkswagen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 56,739 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2025-12-16, which is a critical red flag.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage averaging 11,701 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a significant 1,753-mile increase between July 2023 and December 2024 is unusual.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defects recorded for tyres (6 times) and brakes (2 times) across multiple tests.
- MOT status is 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2025-12-16, indicating a significant lapse in roadworthiness.
- Recurring advisories for suspension components (corrosion) and brake systems (worn pads/discs) signal chronic neglect.
- The vehicle has been on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) status, suggesting it has not been on the road for a period.
Working in its favour
- Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 11,701 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates a strong safety record for this model.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a long service history, with consistent annual mileage and no suspicious gaps.
