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 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 21,537 miles. While many issues were addressed, the sheer volume of recurring faults suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,452 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has significantly decreased since 2016.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (Jun 2020, Jun 2021, May 2022, May 2023, May 2024, Jun 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories across 3 tests (Jun 2020, Jun 2021, May 2022) suggest ongoing wear.
- Recurring position lamp failures/advisories across 5 tests (Jun 2020, Jun 2021, May 2022, May 2023, May 2024) point to electrical issues.
- Recurring shock absorber fluid leak advisories across 2 tests (Jun 2021, May 2022) highlight a recurring suspension component issue.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until June 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,452 mi/yr) suggests light use and less engine/drivetrain wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
