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

This 2001 Volkswagen has 8 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 73,891 miles. While mileage is high, the vehicle's age and diesel engine longevity are strong positives.

The vehicle shows consistent high annual usage averaging 9,810 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, including a normal 5,148-mile year in 2012.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2015-01-06; current MOT status is 'Not valid' — requires immediate retest.
  • High mileage (127,780 miles by Jan 2014) suggests significant wear on major components.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
  • Perfect MOT record: 8 consecutive passes with no failures or dangerous defects.
  • Consistent high annual mileage (9,810 miles/year) indicates regular use, not neglect.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for its age.
