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 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 36,316 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring suspension and brake advisories, coupled with a recent MOT failure, indicates substantial upcoming maintenance costs.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 7,358 miles/year, with a notable drop to 474 miles/year between July 2024 and July 2025, and a period of only 56 miles/year before January 2018.
Things to check
- Jul 2025 MOT failure for suspension arm, immediately retested and passed.
- Recurring suspension advisories across 10 tests (e.g., Feb 2023, Jan 2024, Jul 2025).
- Recurring brake advisories across 10 tests (e.g., Feb 2023, Jan 2024, Jul 2025).
- Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Jan 2018 (56 mi/yr equivalent).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-19, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage for its age (7,358 mi/yr).
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
- All prior failures were immediately rectified and passed on retest.
