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 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 34,604 miles. While mileage is consistent, the MOT record shows a pattern of issues that warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 8,841 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 119,378-mile jump in July 2018.

Things to check

  • Three MOT failures (Aug 2021, Jul 2022, Jul 2024) with no defect details.
  • Recurring front tyre advisories (Jul 2018, Jul 2019) indicate a persistent wear item.
  • The vehicle is 20 years old with a 2017 Euro NCAP rating, suggesting potential age-related wear.
  • The car is currently on SORN status with no valid MOT, requiring immediate re-registration.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,841 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) are evident in the MOT history.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for modern safety standards.
