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 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 28,563 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the contradictory mileage data makes it impossible to verify its true condition or mileage integrity.
A critical 2,621-mile mileage decrease occurred on 04 Dec 2018 (77,028 mi to 79,649 mi), directly contradicting the expected progression and rendering the vehicle's true mileage unverifiable.
Things to check
- Critical 2,621-mile mileage decrease on 04 Dec 2018 (77,028 mi to 79,649 mi) — fundamental integrity failure.
- MOT expiry 2022-12-21 is past due, indicating the vehicle is currently without a valid MOT certificate.
- Repeated major failures for lights, brakes, and windscreen across multiple tests (2014, 2019, 2021) suggest chronic neglect.
- Persistent tyre advisories (2016, 2020) and a DANGEROUS tyre defect (Dec 2018) indicate a pattern of poor maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its model year.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,997 miles/year (UK average 8,000) suggests normal, non-abusive usage.
- No recurring major failures on the same system over time, indicating issues were addressed when they failed.
