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 33,776 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the repeated advisories and failures warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,358 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories across 6 tests (e.g., Oct 2023, Oct 2024) suggest ongoing wear.
- Dangerous tyre failures on 3 separate occasions (e.g., Sep 2021, Oct 2022) indicate a history of neglect.
- The Oct 2025 MOT failure for a tyre, followed by a pass, shows a 'just passed MOT' seller tactic.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,358 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present.
