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 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 19,694 miles. This, combined with a 2.9/3.0 V6 Cayenne/Q7 water pump failure and timing chain issues reported by the community, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 19,694 miles at its first MOT in May 2019, but only 42,392 miles by May 2019, and a total of 48,635 miles by November 2025. This is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Critical mileage anomaly: 19,694 miles in May 2019, but only 42,392 miles by May 2019, and 48,635 miles by Nov 2025.
- First MOT in May 2019 at 19,694 miles is highly irregular for a 2011 vehicle.
- Community-reported 'Vacuum-controlled water pump failure in 2.9/3.0 V6 Cayenne/Q7' is a severe engine risk.
- Community-reported 'Timing chain' issues are a major concern for a 2011 diesel engine.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures on the same system after initial repairs.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage since first MOT.
