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 76% pass rate and 33,064 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring tyre and brake advisories, escalating to major failures, indicates a history of deferred maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,798 miles/year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 16,000+ miles to 5,500-7,000 miles from 2022 onwards.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (Jul 2015, Aug 2019, Jul 2018, Aug 2023, Aug 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories across 3 tests (Aug 2019, Aug 2020, Aug 2025) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Offside Front Anti-roll bar ball joint excessively worn (Aug 2023 advisory) escalated to MAJOR failure (Aug 2025).
  • Offside Front Wheel bearing has excessive play (Aug 2023 advisory) is a recurring issue.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Immediate retests after failures show issues were addressed.
