AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2006 Volkswagen has 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 76,648 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the vehicle's age and past failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 17,130 miles/year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 4,261 miles from May 2015 to June 2014).

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories and failures across 5 tests (2009, 2015, 2016) indicate chronic wear.
  • Multiple suspension component failures and advisories (2016, 2013, 2012) suggest ongoing structural neglect.
  • Brake system failures and advisories (2016, 2013, 2012) point to a history of poor maintenance.
  • Mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 4,261 miles from May 2015 to June 2014).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit expiring in 2017, indicating it passed a recent test.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently been tested and maintained, despite its high mileage.
