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

This 2010 Volkswagen has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 67,153 miles. While many issues were resolved, the sheer volume of past failures and current advisories warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,161 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage over its 16-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system failures (Jan 2020, Feb 2022, Jan 2023) and 6 related advisories indicate chronic wear.
  • Persistent suspension component failures (Jan 2020, Feb 2022, Jan 2023) and 5 advisories suggest ongoing issues.
  • Multiple tyre-related failures (Jan 2020, Jan 2023, Feb 2025) and 4 advisories point to a history of neglect.
  • Four major light failures (Jan 2020, Jan 2023, Feb 2025) and 4 advisories highlight a pattern of electrical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until February 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory (9,161 miles/year) suggests regular, predictable usage.
  • All past failures were addressed and retested successfully, demonstrating owner responsiveness.
