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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 45,163 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and recent advisories warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,206 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2024 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (Nov 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023) indicate chronic wear.
  • Suspension arm corrosion noted in Jan 2025 and Jan 2025 retest, suggesting ongoing structural issues.
  • Engine/Oil and Suspension failures in Nov 2019 and Jan 2025, respectively, highlight significant past neglect.
  • Brake system advisories in Nov 2019 and Jan 2025 point to a history of maintenance issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,206 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
