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 19,474 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a pattern of neglect, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,330 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,496 miles between Aug 2024 and Mar 2025).

Things to check

  • Recurring major brake failures (Aug 2022, Aug 2023, Aug 2024) and numerous advisories (15+ items) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Emissions system repeatedly failed (Aug 2024) and has 5 related advisories, suggesting a persistent underlying issue.
  • Tyre condition has been a recurring advisory across 8 tests, with multiple 'cracking in tread lines' and 'worn close to limit' flags.
  • The vehicle has been driven extremely lightly (4,330 miles/year), which can lead to accelerated component wear and corrosion.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until May 2027, indicating it is roadworthy for the next two years.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for this model is a positive, suggesting good inherent safety features.
