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 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 14,315 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect and immediate retests suggests significant upcoming repair costs.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage averaging 3,540 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2023-12-01 MOT test.
  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: lights (3 times), brakes (1 time).
  • Extremely low annual mileage (3,540 miles/yr) raises odometer fraud concerns.
  • Multiple advisories for the same components (tyres, exhaust, coil springs) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • No failures for 10 years (2013-2023) suggests periods of good maintenance.
  • Consistent low mileage (3,540 miles/yr) indicates light use, potentially extending component life.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe vehicle design.
  • No recent MOT failures (2023-12-01 PASS) means it is currently roadworthy.
