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 81% pass rate and 30,135 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring suspension failures and extensive advisory history for tyres and brakes warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,817 miles/year, averaging 8,000 annually, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures: 4 major failures (Jun 2022, Jul 2023) and 2 suspension arm advisories (Jul 2023, Jun 2022).
  • Extensive recurring advisories: 12 tyre advisories (2015, 2016, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026) and 12 brake advisories (2015, 2016, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026).
  • Recent tyre advisory (Apr 2026) indicates ongoing wear and potential immediate replacement.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (1,368–14,706 miles/year) suggests limited use, which can lead to component wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until April 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
