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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 65,033 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the vehicle's age and mileage demand thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 14,957 miles/year, with a significant drop in recent years (2,212 miles in 2022), suggesting a change in usage or potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- High mileage (207,029 miles) for a 2009 vehicle indicates significant wear and tear.
- Recurring suspension advisories (e.g., anti-roll bar dust cover, Nov 2020) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- Recurring brake system advisories (e.g., pads wearing thin, Nov 2020) indicate potential future costs.
- The 'Not valid' MOT status as of the analysis date requires immediate verification of current roadworthiness.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending service intervals.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
