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

This 2005 Volkswagen has 26 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 10,962 miles. While it has a long MOT, the mileage history is highly irregular, and recent advisories point to immediate expenditure.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jan 2023 (141 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant increase in annual usage, indicating a potential period of inactivity or a data anomaly.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in lights (5 times) and brakes (1 failure, 3 advisories) across multiple tests.
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Jan 2023 (141 mi/yr equivalent) suggests a period of inactivity.
  • Recent Nov 2025 MOT shows both front tyres worn close to legal limit, requiring immediate replacement.
  • A 21-year-old vehicle with a history of electrical and safety system failures is a significant concern.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a valid MOT until 12/09/2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are evident in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing responsive owner action.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
