This 2007 Volkswagen has 19 MOT tests on record with a 84% pass rate and 28,036 miles. The recent corrosion advisory on suspension arms is a significant concern.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 5,028 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (coil spring, shock absorber) across 9 tests, escalating to major failures.
- Recurring tyre advisories (worn close to limit) across 7 tests, indicating chronic wear.
- Corrosion on front lower suspension arm (Nov 2025) is a serious upcoming repair.
- Engine oil and headlamp advisories are recurring, suggesting neglected maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until November 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,028 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects recorded on the MOT.
