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 81% pass rate and 18,125 miles. The car's age and low annual mileage for its age are significant factors to consider.

The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,696 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2022-2023.

Things to check

  • Nearside Front Shock absorber has a serious fluid leak (ADVISORY on 2019-02-20) — a recurring issue.
  • Recurring advisories on the nearside front shock absorber (2019, 2021, 2023) indicate a chronic problem.
  • Multiple recurring advisories for lights, emissions, and exhaust components across 11 tests.
  • Low annual mileage (6,696 mi/yr) for a 15-year-old vehicle suggests limited use and potential age-related issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 08/31/2026, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,696 mi/yr) suggests careful, light use.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects (e.g., brakes, steering).
