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

This 2003 Volkswagen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 49,054 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and recurring issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,299 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, showing normal usage for its age.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 4 tests (2006, 2007, 2016, 2017) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Offside Rear Tyre had a lump (separation) on 2006-03-22, a dangerous defect.
  • Offside Front constant velocity joint gaiter split on 2006-03-22 and 2007-03-15.
  • Not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,299 mi/yr) for its 23-year lifespan.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2003 model is excellent.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • Most recent MOT pass (Jun 2017) after addressing prior failures.
