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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 52,509 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and inconsistent usage makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows a normal average of 10,028 miles/year until 2023, but a critical anomaly: only 989 miles were recorded between Nov 2023 and Feb 2026, indicating a period of prolonged inactivity or potential fraud.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Feb 2026): Offside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its str
  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2025): Nearside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its st
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded on 2018-10-31 and 2021-10-31, indicating severe neglect.
  • Mileage anomaly: only 989 miles recorded between Nov 2023 and Feb 2026, a significant red flag.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage (10,028 miles/year) before the 2023-2026 anomaly.
  • No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) beyond advisories.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for this model is a positive.
