AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Volkswagen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 28,438 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2027, the complete absence of records for 17 years is a significant concern.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 28,438 miles over 17 years, but the complete MOT history gap from 2014 to 2019 makes mileage verification impossible.
Things to check
- Complete MOT history gap from 2014-2019 (5 years) — no records for a 17-year-old car.
- Dangerous defects on 2 Feb 2024 (brakes) and 2 Feb 2024 (tyres) — immediate safety concerns.
- Recurring major failures in brakes (3 times) and suspension (1 time) — structural neglect pattern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-01 — current roadworthiness certification.
- No mileage anomalies or fraud detected — consistent annual usage.
- No recurring failures in the last 3 years — recent issues appear resolved.
