AI verdict AVOID 22/100

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

This 2002 Volkswagen has 23 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 27,333 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring structural corrosion and recurring advisories on critical safety systems make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage decreased from 95,658 miles in Feb 2016 to 94,460 miles in Mar 2017, a clear indicator of potential odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Feb 2016 (95,658 mi) and Mar 2017 (94,460 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Mileage decreased 1,198 miles between Feb 2016 (95,658 mi) and Mar 2017 (94,460 mi) — strong odometer tampering evidence.
  • Nearside Rear Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced inner sill (Jun 2007) — major structural integrity concern.
  • Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened all (Sep 2019) — recurring brake wear advisory.

Working in its favour

  • No failures recorded on the most recent MOT (Sep 2024) — latest test was a pass.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases post-2017, despite the 2016-2017 anomaly.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe vehicle for its era.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded in the last 5 years.
