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 26,017 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and high early usage, combined with a 2014-2015 mileage anomaly, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows only 26,017 miles at its most recent MOT in Sep 2025, yet a 2014-04-08 test recorded 473,947 miles, indicating a significant and unexplained mileage decrease.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Apr 2014 (473,947 mi) and Apr 2015 (53,764 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased from 473,947 miles (2014-04-08) to 53,764 miles (2015-04-08), a 12-year-old anomaly.
- Only 26,017 miles recorded at Sep 2025 MOT for a 17-year-old vehicle, indicating severe underuse or tampering.
- 2014-04-08 test recorded 473,947 miles, a 52.6× increase from the car's average 8,000 miles/year.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2009 vehicle is exceptionally high for its age.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since Sep 2025, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage of 8,256 miles/yr (post-2015) aligns with typical UK usage.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects in recent MOT tests.
