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

This 2007 Volkswagen has 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 33,122 miles. While it has a long MOT, the repeated issues with safety-critical systems warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows normal annual usage until 2021, but then experienced a significant drop in mileage, averaging only 1,500-3,500 miles per year from 2021 onwards, which is unusual for a 19-year-old car.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (Jul 2018, Jan 2021, Jan 2024).
  • Recurring suspension component failures and advisories (Jan 2023, Jan 2024, Jan 2025).
  • Major failure for 'Offside Front Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover' in Jan 2024.
  • Major failure for 'Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken' in Jan 2024.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,918 miles/year, aligning with UK norms.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage readings.
  • All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests promptly.
