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

This 2007 Volkswagen has 23 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 52,549 miles. While it has a long service history, the vehicle's age and past issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory shows normal annual usage (11,358 miles/year) until a significant drop in 2024, with a 1,000-mile discrepancy between the retest pair on 31 Oct 2025 and 03 Nov 2025.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Nov 2024): Offside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded on 2011-09-17 and 2024-11-06, indicating a persistent and serious safety concern.
  • A 1,000-mile discrepancy between retest pair on 31 Oct 2025 and 03 Nov 2025, suggesting a potential odometer fraud or data entry error.
  • Major failures for Engine/Oil, Lights, Brakes, and Emissions on 2024-11-06, showing a broad range of neglected maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-11-16, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • Consistent mileage readings over its lifespan, averaging 11,358 miles/year, suggesting regular use.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering, which is a positive sign.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 provides a high level of safety assurance for a 19-year-old vehicle.
