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

This 2005 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 81,895 miles. The vehicle is also currently untaxed and has no valid MOT.

The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing a decrease from 111,528 miles in June 2011 to 111,471 miles in June 2012, and an unusually high jump before May 2013, indicating potential odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jun 2011 (111,528 mi) and Jun 2012 (111,471 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased from 111,528 miles (Jun 2011) to 111,471 miles (Jun 2012) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Unusually high mileage jump before May 2013 (108,849 miles/yr equivalent) — suggests manipulation.
  • Failed MOT on 2008-11-17 with excessive play in a nearside front suspension arm and multiple tyre failures.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
  • Reliable 1.9 TDI engine is known for its long-term durability and low running costs.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the 2019 pass, suggesting current roadworthiness.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit high, mileage history, indicating regular use.
