AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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 22 MOT tests on record with a 55% pass rate and 33,688 miles. The extensive recurring issues and unresolved advisories make this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a suspiciously low mileage of 35 miles/year before Mar 2026, with a significant drop from 133,218 miles in Jan 2025 to 134,713 miles in Jan 2026, indicating a major data anomaly or potential fraud.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2026): Offside Front Coil spring missing and directional control affected broken in pie
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing (Sep 2019) — unresolved for years.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge 3mm (Sep 2020) — unresolved for years.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Position lamp not working (Jun 2016) — unresolved for 10+ years.

Working in its favour

  • MOT valid until March 2027 — no immediate retest required.
  • No recent MOT failures — last failure was in Jan 2026.
  • No recent MOT advisories — last advisory was in Jan 2026.
  • No mileage anomalies in the last 3 years — recent tests show normal usage.
