AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2002 Volkswagen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 15,338 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2016-09-14, which is a critical red flag for a 24-year-old car.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 8,332 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the MOT history is highly problematic.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Aug 2011 – Aug 2012)
  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2016-09-14, indicating no current MOT.
  • 8 major failures across critical systems (emissions, tyres, brakes, suspension) from 2006-2015.
  • 7 major tyre failures and 4 major brake failures, indicating chronic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 8,332 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current issues are historical.
