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 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 36,892 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect and unresolved issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage, averaging only 5,019 miles per year, with a significant 19-month gap in MOT history in 2023.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (Sep 2025).
  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (May 2020).
  • Recurring Suspension failures: 3 major failures and 8 related advisories across multiple tests.
  • Recurring Tyre failures: 7 advisories and 2 dangerous defects, indicating chronic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe platform.
  • Consistent annual mileage, albeit very low, shows no suspicious gaps or spikes.
