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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 8,851 miles. The vehicle's age and low annual usage present a high risk of accumulated wear and potential future repair costs.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,978 miles per year, with a significant 2020 service gap and inconsistent mileage readings that warrant further investigation.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Feb 2021, Dec 2019) indicate a history of wear issues.
  • Registration plate lamp failed (Feb 2021) and escalated to MAJOR (Feb 2023), showing neglect.
  • Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) warning lamp fault (Oct 2016) is a safety-critical issue.
  • A 2020 service gap is noted, suggesting potential periods of neglect or off-road use.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until February 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (4,978 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
