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 75% pass rate and 10,175 miles. While these were addressed, the consistent advisories for these components suggest a need for ongoing vigilance.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,708 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 25 miles between Nov 2024 FAIL and PASS).

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Nov 2018, Nov 2019) escalated to dangerous defects (Oct 2021).
  • Recurring windscreen wiper advisories (Oct 2021, Nov 2022) indicate a persistent minor issue.
  • Major suspension failure (Oct 2021) and anti-roll bar ball joint wear (Oct 2021) point to underlying wear.
  • Significant mileage discrepancy: 25 miles between Nov 2024 FAIL and PASS suggests potential odometer fraud.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-07, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Low annual mileage (5,708 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
