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

This 2007 Volkswagen has 24 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 60,210 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and persistent safety-critical issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,545 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the vehicle's age and recurring failures are significant concerns.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Sep 2025): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm 235.45.17 (5.2.3 (e)
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Aug 2018, Aug 2020, and Sep 2023 MOTs.
  • Major failures in critical safety systems: lights (Aug 2022), exhaust (Sep 2023), and suspension (Sep 2023).
  • Recurring advisories for engine oil (Sep 2025) and subframe corrosion (Sep 2025) indicate ongoing issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,545 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until September 2026, confirming current roadworthiness.
