AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Volkswagen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 21,324 miles. The car's age and recurring minor issues suggest potential upcoming maintenance costs.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,905 miles per year, with a significant spike in recent years (11,025 miles between July 2024 and July 2025).
Things to check
- July 2025 MOT failure for Nearside Rear Inner Tyre worn close to legal limit.
- April 2019 MOT failure for Nearside Headlamp aim too low.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (2019, 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
- Very low annual mileage (5,905 mi/yr) suggests limited recent use.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until July 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory, despite low annual usage, shows no fraud.
