AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Volkswagen has 5 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 22,036 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated nature of these issues suggests a need for thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,082 miles per year, with a significant drop from 11,000+ miles to just 2,410 miles between April 2024 and April 2026.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Apr 2025, Apr 2026) indicate ongoing wear and potential alignment issues.
- Persistent subframe damage advisories (Apr 2025, Apr 2026) suggest a structural or impact history.
- Major headlamp failure (Apr 2025) followed by advisories (Apr 2026) points to electrical or alignment concerns.
- Significant drop in annual mileage (Apr 2024 to Apr 2026) from 11,000+ to 2,400 miles is unusual.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent low mileage (22,036 miles) for its age suggests light use and potential for longevity.
