AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2011 Volkswagen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and repeated safety-critical advisories warrant a thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory shows normal annual usage (7,675 miles/yr) until 2015, then a significant jump to 31,969 miles/yr equivalent, followed by consistent but variable annual increments.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2020-03-03 (67,186 mi) after ADVISORY on 2019-03-03 (61,219 mi).
- DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2023-06-01 (96,854 mi) after ADVISORY on 2021-10-01 (78,972 mi).
- Recurring brake pad wear advisories (2016, 2017, 2019) escalated to dangerous failures (2020).
- Recurring anti-roll bar link dust cover splits (2017, 2019) indicate a pattern of suspension wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-02, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2015, suggesting regular use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
- Immediate retests after failures demonstrate owner's attempts to address issues.
