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 94% pass rate and 4,337 miles. The 15-year age and 1 failure with no detail also warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 1,182 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 11-mile/year equivalent before Oct 2019, followed by a 3.4× increase to 4,010 miles/year equivalent by Jan 2026.

Things to check

  • Extremely low mileage: 1,182 miles/year average over 15 years (Jan 2011 to Jan 2026).
  • Mileage anomaly: 11 miles/year equivalent before Oct 2019, then 4,010 miles/year equivalent by Jan 2026.
  • Mileage integrity: Very low lifetime mileage (17,848 miles) for a 15-year-old vehicle.
  • One MOT failure (Oct 2020) with no defect details provided by DVSA.

Working in its favour

  • Strong MOT pass record: 9 of 10 tests passed, with no dangerous defects.
  • Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until February 2027, offering peace of mind.
  • No recurring major failures: Single failure in 2020 was immediately rectified.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
