AI verdict AVOID 38/100

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 78% pass rate and 24,565 miles. The vehicle's mileage has been consistently low, but the numerous safety-critical defects and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 5,954 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is a 17-year-old car.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre failures recorded in Jan 2022 and Jan 2026 MOT tests.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Jan 2022, Jan 2022, Jan 2026) indicate a systemic wear pattern.
  • Persistent exhaust advisories (Jan 2026) suggest an ongoing issue with the vehicle's emissions system.
  • The car's age (2009) combined with low mileage (5,954 mi/yr) points to significant accumulated wear and neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until February 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing owners addressed immediate safety concerns.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
