AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 30,191 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated advisories for critical safety components warrant a thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,468 miles/year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 2022 onwards (e.g., 1,648 miles in 2022), but no suspicious decreases or round numbers.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (Aug 2023, Aug 2024) and failures (Aug 2021, Aug 2021) indicate a history of brake wear.
- Recurring suspension advisories (Aug 2024, Aug 2025) for shock absorbers, coil springs, and suspension arms suggest ongoing wear.
- Offside Front Seatbelt advisory (Aug 2025) for webbing damage is a recent safety concern.
- Offside Rear Shock absorber serious fluid leak (Aug 2021) and Nearside Rear Shock absorber serious fluid leak (Aug 2021) were both major failures.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-30 provides immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage averaging 8,468 miles/year aligns with typical UK usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
