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

This 2006 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 15,708 miles. However, the vehicle's extremely low mileage of 15,708 miles over 20 years raises significant concerns about its true condition and potential odometer issues.

The vehicle shows only 15,708 miles over 20 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, indicating potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 15,708 miles over 20 years (Jun 2018) — potential odometer fraud.
  • MOT not valid as of 2019-06-26 — vehicle has been off-road for extended periods, likely causing unknown mechanical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Single, clean MOT pass on 2009-01-19 with no recorded failures or advisories.
  • No recurring failures or advisories found in the limited MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
