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

This 2006 Volkswagen has 20 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 23,476 miles. While failures were promptly rectified, the sheer volume of advisories across critical systems demands thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows consistent, albeit low, annual mileage averaging 5,731 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine light usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on brakes (7), lights (3), tyres (3), and suspension (2) across multiple tests indicate systemic wear.
  • Engine oil and exhaust advisories are recurring, suggesting chronic maintenance neglect or poor quality fuel.
  • Two MOT failures (Dec 2018, Dec 2022) with no defect breakdowns are a major red flag for unaddressed safety issues.
  • The 20-year-old vehicle with 114,530 miles is well past its intended service life and likely has significant wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-27 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,731 mi/yr) suggests light use and less engine/drivetrain stress.
