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 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 14,100 miles. The mileage is significantly below average, raising serious concerns about its true condition and potential for hidden problems.

The vehicle shows a critically low average of 3,542 miles/year, with a significant anomaly of only 1,123 miles driven between Jan 2020 and Jan 2021, suggesting potential odometer fraud or prolonged inactivity.

Things to check

  • Six MOT failures recorded since 2018, indicating persistent mechanical issues.
  • Four DANGEROUS defects (brakes, tyres) in the last 3 years, posing immediate safety risks.
  • Recurring failures in suspension, lights, and tyres across multiple tests.
  • Significant mileage anomaly: only 1,123 miles driven between Jan 2020 and Jan 2021.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • No outstanding MOT failures or advisories on the most recent test (Jul 2025).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
  • Relatively low insurance group (27–32) for a 2010 model, making it more affordable to insure.
