AI verdict AVOID 29/100

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 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 31,536 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-year MOT gap, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Mar 2017 (146 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage averaging 11,467 miles/year, which is a significant red flag for a 16-year-old vehicle.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2020-03-03, a critical safety defect.
  • Recurring DANGEROUS brake disc wear advisories on 2021-03-03 and 2022-03-03.
  • Recurring major exhaust silencer insecurity on 2020-03-03 and 2022-03-03.
  • Recurring major wheel bearing failures on 2021-03-03, 2023-03-03, and 2024-03-03.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,467 miles/year since 2017, suggesting regular use.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
