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

This 2003 Volkswagen has 3 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 41,773 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the low mileage and recurring issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows only 41,773 miles over 23 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 41,773 miles over 23 years (Dec 2007).
  • Recurring Offside Front Lower Ball joint advisory (Dec 2006, Dec 2006, Dec 2007).
  • Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin advisory (Dec 2007) indicates immediate replacement cost.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2008-12-20 (Dec 2007), confirming current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases after the initial low reading (Dec 2007).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
