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 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 20,986 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems demands thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,429 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but shows a significant spike in recent years.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2020-04-30 after ADVISORY on 2019-06-01.
  • DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2026-04-30 after ADVISORY on 2019-06-01.
  • Recurring exhaust corrosion advisories (2019, 2020, 2024) leading to major failures.
  • Recurring anti-roll bar ball joint advisories (2019, 2020, 2021) leading to major failures.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-08, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 15 years, no signs of tampering.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
