This 2009 Volkswagen has 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 39,982 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2026-03-23, which is highly irregular.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 88,808 miles in Nov 2018 to 92,566 miles in Nov 2019, followed by unusually low annual usage, indicating a potential odometer fraud or a major data discrepancy.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres (Nov 2020) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Brakes (Mar 2025) — critical safety system failure.
  • Recurring failures: Brakes (2020, 2025) and Suspension (2025) — structural neglect.
  • Mileage anomaly: 88,808 miles (Nov 2018) dropped to 92,566 miles (Nov 2019) — potential fraud.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
  • Consistent mileage: Average 6,731 miles/year, well below UK average of 8,000.
  • No recurring major failures: Single major failure per system, no repeated patterns.
  • Immediate retests: All failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
