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 22 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 17,506 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age (17,506 miles in 19 years) combined with recurring safety-critical issues makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 4,279 miles/year, averaging only 17,506 miles in 19 years, which is a significant red flag for a 2007 vehicle.

Things to check

  • Suspension system has 3 major failures and 10 related advisories, a clear pattern of neglect.

  • Tyre condition has 8 advisories across 4 separate tests, indicating a long-standing and unresolved issue.

Working in its favour
