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 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 36,366 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and the number of past failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 233 miles between Jan 2010 and Oct 2014, followed by consistent but below-average annual usage of ~5,940 miles/year.

Things to check

  • Recurring DANGEROUS brake failures in Sep 2021 and Sep 2022 indicate a persistent and serious safety issue.
  • Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures in Sep 2021 and Oct 2019 point to chronic neglect of critical safety components.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (Oct 2019, Sep 2021) and shock absorber leak (Oct 2019) suggest ongoing structural wear.
  • The 16-year-old vehicle with low annual mileage (5,940 mi/yr) is expected to show significant wear and tear.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, indicating issues were addressed.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
