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 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 32,504 miles. The most critical issue is a complete absence of mileage records for over 19 years, which is a major red flag for odometer fraud.
The vehicle shows no mileage records from 2007 to 2026, with a single reading of 32,504 miles on 2010-07-21, indicating a critical data integrity issue.
Things to check
- Complete absence of mileage records from 2007 to 2026 is a major red flag for odometer fraud.
- Dangerous defects recorded on 2019-02-20 (tyres) and 2022-01-20 (steering) indicate severe past neglect.
- Recurring failures in critical safety systems like tyres, suspension, and brakes across multiple years.
- The 2019-02-20 MOT failure for headlamps escalated to a major failure in 2023-02-20, showing a pattern of neglect.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until 2027-02-27, indicating it is roadworthy now.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects are recorded on the latest MOT tests.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
- The car has been consistently registered and taxed since its first registration in 2007.
