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 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 22,978 miles.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 9,070 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 21-mile gap in 2023-2024 is noted.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories across 4 tests (2015, 2016, 2020, 2023) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 3 tests (2019, 2021, 2023) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
- Two major brake failures (2018, 2023) and associated binding advisories (2019, 2023) point to recurring brake system issues.
- A 21-mile gap in 2023-2024 mileage suggests a period of very low or no use, potentially affecting component health.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until February 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (9,070 mi/yr) aligns with typical UK usage, not suspicious.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
