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 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 12,355 miles. However, a significant mileage anomaly and recurring advisories for tyres and brakes warrant careful investigation.

The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 2,345 miles/year, with a critical anomaly of only 1,226 miles recorded between Nov 2018 and Oct 2020.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 34,888 miles over 15 years (Nov 2025) — indicates very low usage.
  • Offside Rear fog lamp advisory (Oct 2020) — a minor but unaddressed electrical issue.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history — a strong safety record.
  • Very low mileage for its age (34,888 miles) — potentially less wear and tear.
  • Consistent retest passes after the single failure in Nov 2023 — demonstrates owner responsiveness.
