AI verdict AVOID 36/100
AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2007 Volkswagen has 28 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 41,931 miles. The pattern of repeated failures and advisories on critical safety systems like brakes, suspension, and tyres makes this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 8,856 miles/year, but a significant drop in annual mileage from 2019 onwards (e.g., 4,574 miles in 2020) is a red flag for potential odometer fraud or periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2012-08-07 (tread depth below 1.6mm).
- DANGEROUS brake imbalance on 2011-08-17 (imbalanced across an axle).
- Recurring suspension arm failures on 2012-08-07, 2013-08-07, 2014-08-07, 201
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,856 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud, as mileage trajectory is consistent despite recent drops.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-10-21, confirming current roadworthiness.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
