AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2002 Volkswagen has 23 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 3,081 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring tyre and brake advisories, combined with a dangerous brake failure, indicate significant wear and potential neglect.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 1,629 miles/year, with a critical 4,000-mile jump between 2019 and 2020, and a further 8,922-mile jump between 2025 and 2026, strongly suggesting potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2026): Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- Mileage significantly below average: 39,413 miles over 24 years (1,629 mi/yr average).
- Critical mileage anomaly: 4,000-mile jump between Jun 2019 (16,724 mi) and Mar 2020 (17,347 mi).
- Critical mileage anomaly: 8,922-mile jump between Mar 2025 (30,491 mi) and Mar 2026 (39,413 mi).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures on the same system across multiple tests.
- Immediate retest passes after failures, showing owner's prompt rectification.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for this model.
