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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 38,120 miles. While mileage is consistent, the number of failures and advisories for critical safety systems warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,442 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage for its age.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in brakes (Apr 2019, Oct 2021, Jun 2025) and suspension (Oct 2021, Jun 2025) indicate structural neglect.
  • Multiple advisories for exhaust leaks (4 tests) and worn tyres (6 tests) suggest chronic maintenance issues.
  • The 2011 Caddy's 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating is excellent, but this is offset by the recurring major failures.
  • The vehicle has a 15-year history with consistent low annual mileage, which can mask underlying wear and tear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until June 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (8,442 mi/yr) suggests regular use without abuse.
