AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2006 Volkswagen has 24 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 41,039 miles. The vehicle's past is not verifiable, making it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle's first MOT in 2009 shows 41,039 miles, but no tests were recorded between 2011 and 2019, and the subsequent trajectory is highly irregular.
Things to check
- No MOT tests recorded between 2011 and 2019 (20-year gap).
- Mileage shows a significant drop from 162,275 miles (Nov 2023) to 176,042 miles (Dec 2025).
- First MOT in 2009 recorded 41,039 miles, but no tests were recorded between 2011 and 2019.
- Mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with a significant drop in recent years.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
- No specific green flags identified due to the highly irregular and unverifiable MOT history.
