AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 9,483 miles. While there are past minor failures and advisories, the recent clean passes and low annual usage make it a viable purchase.
The vehicle shows consistent low annual usage, averaging 11,121 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes in its 9-year history.
Things to check
- Two MOT failures (Dec 2020, Jan 2022) with no defect details provided, indicating past issues were addressed.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2022, Jan 2023) suggest a history of wear and tear on these components.
- A minor registration plate lamp advisory (Jan 2026) indicates a current, minor maintenance item.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage of 11,121 miles/year, well below UK average, indicating light use.
- Seven of nine MOT tests passed cleanly, with only two minor failures that were immediately rectified.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects found in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
