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 71% pass rate and 18,112 miles. However, a significant recurring pattern of major shock absorber failures and a recent engine oil advisory warrant careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,343 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Major shock absorber failures on all three sides (Sep 2022, Sep 2024) indicate significant structural wear.
- Engine oil advisory from the most recent MOT (Nov 2025) suggests a potential underlying issue.
- Recurring light advisories (2021, 2022) indicate a minor but persistent electrical issue.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until November 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,343 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
