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 22 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 40,672 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect and repeated failures makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 6,947 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this low usage is coupled with a history of severe safety and mechanical failures.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Dec 2025): Nearside Front Inner Tyre has a lump, caused by separation or partial failure of
- DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Dec 2018 and Dec 2024, indicating severe neglect of critical safety components.
- Recurring major failures in suspension (5 times) and brakes (2 times) across multiple MOT tests, showing systemic structural neglect.
- Persistent advisories for emissions (3 times) and recurring issues with anti-roll bar links, suspension arms, and ball joints, pointing to chronic underlying problems.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,947 miles/year, suggesting light use and potentially lower wear on engine components.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety foundation for the model, despite the vehicle's own history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until December 2026, confirming it is currently roadworthy and compliant with basic safety standards.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, with consistent readings and no suspicious drops or spikes.
