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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 22,963 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and repeated issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,579 miles per year, with a significant drop to just 1,166 miles between October 2023 and March 2026, suggesting periods of inactivity or very light use.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2026): Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2026-03-30 (test 8) — immediate safety concern.
  • Recurring brake system advisories (2023-10, 2026-03) escalating to dangerous failure.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (2023-10, 2026-03) escalating to major failures.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-30, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage discrepancies or rollbacks detected in the MOT history.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like steering or emissions.
  • Consistent annual mileage for its age, suggesting light use.
