AI verdict AVOID 47/100

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

This 2010 Volkswagen has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 27,169 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the extremely low mileage combined with recurring tyre and brake advisories makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows only 27,169 miles over 16 years, a significant anomaly from the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting potential odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • Critical mileage anomaly: 27,169 miles over 16 years (Jan 2010 to Jul 2023) — well below UK average.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (20 flags) across 4 tests indicate chronic neglect of critical safety components.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (6 flags) across 2 tests point to a pattern of deferred maintenance.
  • MOT expired 2024-07-05; vehicle is currently on SORN with no active MOT.

Working in its favour

  • No failures recorded for the most recent MOT (Jul 2023), indicating the owner addressed issues.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases (albeit low) show regular use despite low total.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
