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 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 31,998 miles. While many issues were addressed, the repeated nature of these critical safety components suggests a history of reactive maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,350 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though there are unexplained service gaps in 2021 and 2024.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures (Jan 2022, May 2019) and advisories (Jan 2023, Jan 2022) indicate a history of brake system neglect.
  • Persistent suspension issues (Jan 2023, May 2019) and advisories (Jan 2022, Jan 2023) suggest ongoing wear and tear.
  • Multiple DANGEROUS brake failures (May 2019) and advisories (Jan 2022) highlight critical safety component wear.
  • Unexplained service gaps in 2021 and 2024 suggest periods of potential neglect or off-road use.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its 16 years of age, indicating light usage.
  • All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests, showing owner responsiveness.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
