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

This 2005 Volkswagen has 27 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 130,927 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and recurring mechanical issues, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, present significant buying risks.

The MOT history shows a 21-year-old vehicle with 130,927 miles, but the provided data includes a 2008-01-14 test failure for windscreen damage at 130,927 miles, which is the same mileage as the current MOT expiry date of 2026-12-17. This is a critical inconsistency.

Things to check

MOT history is incomplete and inconsistent with DVLA data, making a reliable assessment impossible.
High total mileage of 130,927 miles for a 2005 vehicle is a significant concern for accumulated wear and tear.
Recurring major failures in brakes, suspension, and lights across multiple tests indicate persistent mechanical issues.
The 2008-01-14 test failure for windscreen damage at 130,927 miles directly conflicts with the current MOT expiry date of 2026-12-17, a critical data anomaly.

Working in its favour

The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-12-17, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a strong focus on safety features.
No recent MOT failures or advisories for the past 2 years, suggesting current maintenance.
The 1.9 TDI engine is known for its reliability and long-term durability.
