AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2007 Volkswagen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 40,588 miles. However, recurring advisories for tyres and suspension, combined with a 19-year age and SORN status, warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 7,987 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low of 3,211 miles in 2021.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Oct 2019, Nov 2021) indicate ongoing wear and potential future costs.
- Recurring suspension advisories (Oct 2019, Nov 2021) suggest potential underlying wear or corrosion.
- Vehicle is 19 years old (2007), which means significant accumulated wear and tear is expected.
- SORN status means no current MOT, requiring immediate re-registration and a new MOT test.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- No MOT failures recorded across 7 tests, demonstrating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (7,987 mi/yr) aligns with typical UK usage, not suspicious.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a robust and safe vehicle design.
