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

This 2011 Volkswagen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 37,050 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring tyre and brake advisories, coupled with a DANGEROUS brake failure in 2014, indicates a history of maintenance neglect.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,716 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2014-12-06 (MOT 37,050 mi).
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 separate tests (Jan 2019, Jan 2020, Jan 2021, Feb 2022, Jan 2023, Feb 2024).
  • Recurring suspension advisories across 2 separate tests (Jan 2023, Feb 2024).
  • Recurring wiper advisories across 3 separate tests (Jan 2020, Jan 2021, Feb 2022).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until November 2026, offering peace of mind for the next 3 years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,716 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects in recent tests.
  • Immediate retest passes after failures demonstrate owner's attempts to address issues.
