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

This 2004 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 32,934 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2019-01-10, which is a critical red flag.

The vehicle shows a suspiciously low mileage of 32,934 miles over 22 years, with only 899 miles recorded between Oct 2016 and Dec 2017, indicating a significant period of inactivity or potential fraud.

Things to check

  • MOT currently 'Not valid' with expiry 2019-01-10 — immediate legal and safety concerns.
  • 5 major failures across 16 tests (tyres, brakes, suspension, steering) — consistent neglect.
  • Suspiciously low mileage of 32,934 miles over 22 years — potential odometer fraud.
  • Recurring tyre failures (Oct 2011 advisory, Nov 2015 fail) — indicates chronic wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 11,900 miles/yr (pre-2018) — no sudden spikes or drops.
  • No recurring failures on the same system after initial fixes — owner addressed issues.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories in the last 2 years — current condition appears stable.
