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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 95,310 miles. The car's age, high mileage, and lack of recent MOT status present significant risks.
The vehicle shows exceptionally high usage, averaging 13,647 miles per year, with a recorded 177,080 miles by December 2018, indicating heavy commercial or long-distance driving.
Things to check
- Vehicle is currently not valid for MOT, having expired on 2019-12-26.
- High annual mileage (13,647 mi/yr) suggests heavy commercial use, accelerating wear.
- No MOT history available for the last 6 years (2019 onwards), a significant red flag.
- The 2018 MOT pass is the only recorded test, with no subsequent retests or inspections.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Single MOT pass in 2018 at 177,080 miles indicates a long, consistent service history.
- No recorded failures or advisories on the single MOT test from 2018.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
