AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2011 Volkswagen has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 13,280 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring brake and suspension advisories, escalating to failures, indicates ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows normal usage, averaging 7,081 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes in its 15-year history.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc and pad advisories across 5 tests (Feb 2024, 2025, 2026) signal chronic wear.
  • Parking brake efficiency below requirements (Feb 2026) indicates a recent failure.
  • Multiple shock absorber advisories (Feb 2024, 2025, 2026) suggest ongoing suspension wear.
  • Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover failures (Feb 2022, 2026) point to recurring suspension issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until February 2027 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its 15-year age suggests careful, light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
