This 2006 Volkswagen has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 27,115 miles. The presence of a 20-year-old vehicle with no valid MOT is a fundamental legal and safety issue.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant decrease from 37,469 miles in Jan 2010 to 14,335 miles in Jan 2011, indicating a possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jan 2010 (37,469 mi) and Jan 2011 (14,335 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
- No valid MOT since 2006 — vehicle is currently SORN and illegal to drive on public roads.
- Mileage decreased from 37,469 miles (Jan 2010) to 14,335 miles (Jan 2011) — strong evidence of odometer tampering.
- First MOT test failed on 2009-06-01 with advisories for corroded exhaust and split wiper.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded after the initial 2009-06-01 test, indicating immediate rectification of issues.
- The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017), suggesting good inherent safety features.
- Low annual mileage for its age (5,220 miles/yr) may indicate light use and potential longevity.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) are evident in the MOT history.
