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 65% pass rate and 22,782 miles. While it has a long MOT, the repeated advisories and low recent mileage demand thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows a significant mileage anomaly: an unusually high 32,613 miles/year before Jul 2018, followed by suspiciously low usage (e.g., 872 miles/year before Sep 2024).

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc advisories across 5 tests (Sep 2020, Sep 2021, Sep 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2024) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring anti-roll bar link advisories (Sep 2020, Sep 2021) escalated to a major failure (Sep 2021), showing structural neglect.
  • Major emissions failure (Jul 2018) followed by a related advisory (Jul 2018) suggests a persistent underlying issue.
  • Unusually high initial mileage (32,613 mi/yr to Jul 2018) followed by extremely low recent usage (e.g., 889 mi/yr to Sep 2024) is a significant red flag for potential odometer fraud.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a long, valid MOT until September 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after any failures, demonstrating prompt owner attention to issues.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 indicates a generally well-designed and safe vehicle.
