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 75% pass rate and 34,167 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the vehicle's history suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,476 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops, but a significant drop in annual usage (2,459 miles) occurred between Mar 2024 and Mar 2025.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc wear (Feb 2021, Feb 2022, Feb 2023) and fluctuating efficiency (Feb 2022) indicate chronic issues.
  • Multiple tyre failures (Feb 2021, Feb 2022) and a DANGEROUS defect (Feb 2022) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
  • The major failure for the registration plate lamp (Mar 2025) after a minor advisory (Feb 2021) shows a pattern of escalating issues.
  • A significant drop in annual mileage (2,459 miles) between Mar 2024 and Mar 2025 is unusual for a 15-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until March 2027, providing peace of mind for the immediate future.
  • Mileage is consistently low for its age, averaging 7,476 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has passed 8 out of 12 MOT tests, showing it has been driven and maintained to some extent.
