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

This 2007 Volkswagen has 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 28,609 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories and failures point to ongoing maintenance needs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,566 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though usage has decreased significantly in recent years.

Things to check

  • Dangerous brake failure (pads less than 1.5mm) on 2012-10-05, though rectified.
  • Recurring suspension arm and ball joint advisories (Oct 2019, Oct 2022, Sep 2021, Sep 2023).
  • Recurring tyre advisories (7 times, including 2011-10-10, 2012-10-05, 2020-10-10).
  • Major suspension failures (Oct 2022, Sep 2021) and related advisories across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Oct 2025).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2007 model is excellent.
