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

This 2006 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 38,255 miles. The vehicle has very low mileage for its age, which is a positive, but the SORN status and lack of a current MOT require immediate investigation.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 38,255 miles over 20 years, averaging 11,203 miles per year, which is slightly above the UK average of 8,000.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories for steering rack (Oct 2018, Oct 2019) and front brake discs (Oct 2018, Oct 2019) indicate ongoing wear.
  • The vehicle is currently on SORN status with no valid MOT, meaning it cannot be legally driven on public roads.
  • The 20-year-old vehicle with low mileage (38,255 mi) suggests it may have been stored or underutilised, leading to potential hidden issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No MOT failures recorded across 2 tests, indicating no critical safety defects were ever reported.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (11,203 mi/yr) suggests regular use without suspicious gaps or spikes.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for this model.
