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 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 28,998 miles. While these were addressed, the sheer volume of advisories for critical safety components indicates significant wear and potential future costs.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 9,508 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops in recorded mileage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Dec 2020, Dec 2021, Dec 2023) escalated to a major failure (Dec 2021).
  • Recurring brake advisories (Dec 2020, Dec 2021, Dec 2023) escalated to a major failure (Dec 2021).
  • Multiple suspension advisories (Dec 2020, Dec 2021, Dec 2023) and coil spring advisories (Dec 2023, Dec 2025) indicate widespread wear.
  • The 2014-09-11 FAILED MOT for a delaminated registration plate is a minor but unexplained administrative issue.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-15, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (9,508 mi/yr) with no fraud indicators.
  • All major failures (tyres, brakes) were immediately rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
  • No recurring failures on safety-critical systems like steering or emissions.
