AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2005 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 51,636 miles. Recurring brake and tyre advisories, combined with the long absence of MOT records, present significant risks.
A 3-year MOT history gap (Jul 2017-Jan 2021) means mileage during this period is unverified, despite a normal annual usage of 9,118 miles/yr.
Things to check
- Long MOT history gap: No test recorded for 3 years (Jul 2017–Jan 2021), mileage unverified.
- Recurring brake advisories: Front brake pads wearing thin (Jan 2021), offside front (Jan 2021).
- Recurring tyre advisories: Nearside front tyre worn (Jan 2021), offside front (Jan 2021).
- Dangerous defect history: Offside Rear Registration plate lamp failure (Mar 2008).
Working in its favour
- Recent clean MOT pass: Jan 2022, no failures or advisories.
- Consistent annual mileage: 9,118 miles/yr (Jan 2022), normal usage.
- No recent major failures: Jan 2022 MOT was a clean pass.
- Reliable 1.9 TDI engine: Consistent with community reports for this model.
