AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2005 Volkswagen has 23 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 13,419 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect in brakes, tyres, and lights demands thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,314 miles per year, with a significant spike of 20,082 miles between Aug 2023 and Mar 2025, but no decreases.

Things to check

  • Jun 2019: Recurring advisories on all four brake discs (worn, pitted) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Jun 2019: Recurring advisories on all four tyres (worn close to limit) suggest chronic under-maintenance.
  • Jun 2019: Recurring advisories on both front headlamps (excessively deteriorated) point to a pattern of deferred repairs.
  • Mar 2025: Major failure for windscreen, followed by a minor defect, suggests poor repair quality.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,314 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
