AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 27 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Volkswagen Golf has 17 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 184,667 miles. However, a recent major brake failure, persistent oil leaks, and recurring suspension advisories warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The vehicle shows normal usage averaging 10,242 miles/year, but a significant anomaly exists for the period before May 2015, with suspiciously low mileage.

Things to check

  • 2025-05-31 FAILED MOT: Offside Rear Hydraulic brake calliper leaking (MAJOR).
  • 2025-06-07 PASSED MOT: Offside Front Inner Suspension arm pin or bush worn (ADVISORY).
  • Persistent Oil Leak Advisory: Noted in 4 separate MOT tests (2023, 2024, 2025).
  • Suspension Arm Wear: Recurring advisory in 2025-06-07 test.

Working in its favour

  • Strong Fleet Reliability: 82% MOT pass rate is above national average.
  • Clean Recent MOT: Passed 2025-06-07 after addressing the major brake failure.
  • Consistent Mileage: Normal annual usage of 10,242 miles/year since 2015.
  • No Odometer Fraud: Mileage trajectory is consistent, no suspicious drops or spikes.
