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 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 24,325 miles. However, a pattern of recurring failures and advisories, particularly concerning the shock absorber and exhaust, indicates potential ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 7,550 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low annual usage of 5,000 miles.

Things to check

  • Jan 2019: Offside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit — an active advisory from 7 years ago.
  • Jan 2019: Nearside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak — a recurring major failure.
  • Jan 2026: Exhaust advisory noted (Jan 2026) — a recurring issue across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until January 2027 — no immediate retesting required.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory — no odometer fraud indicators.
  • No DANGEROUS defects remain unresolved — all past failures were addressed.
