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

This 2005 Volkswagen has 23 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 38,330 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and the number of advisories warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,400 miles/year, with a notable drop from 126,867 miles in Aug 2019 to 130,139 miles in Aug 2020, but no decreases or anomalies.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories (Aug 2018, Aug 2020, Sep 2021, Dec 2022, Mar 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring brake advisories (Aug 2020, Sep 2021, Dec 2022, Mar 2025) suggest a need for continuous maintenance.
  • Major failure for Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements (July 2009) highlights past neglect.
  • Major failure for Nearside Rear Wheel bearing excessive play (July 2009) points to a history of suspension issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 21 years, averaging 9,400 miles/year, is normal.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until March 2026, despite the history.
