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 23 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 15,830 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage of 15,830 miles over 17 years, combined with a 7-year gap in MOT records, makes it an unacceptably high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 15,830 miles over 17 years, with a critical 7-year gap in MOT records (2013-2020) and suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 2,901 miles in 2024).

Things to check

  • MOT history shows 5 failures and 7 advisories across 13 tests.
  • Recurring issues: cv boot (5 tests), tyre wear (4 tests), body corrosion (4 tests), brake hose (3 tests).
  • Mileage anomaly: 15,830 miles over 17 years, with a 7-year gap (2013-2020).
  • Dangerous defects: 2 DANGEROUS tyre failures (Jan 2019, Jan 2020).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
