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 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 22,588 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring suspension failures and advisories, including a major engine failure, raises serious concerns about its long-term reliability and maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,661 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • Major Engine/Oil failure recorded on 2016-05-20, a critical system for a 16-year-old diesel.
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2019-03-19 advisory, 2021-08-14 failure).
  • Persistent brake wear advisories (e.g., 2021-08-14, 2024-07-31) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Multiple coil spring failures (2021-08-14, 2024-07-31) indicate a pattern of suspension neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-15, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 7,661 miles/year.
