AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2008 Volkswagen has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 30,141 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and repeated wear items present significant upcoming costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,771 miles/year, but a 556-mile anomaly on 24 Jun 2016 is a concern.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (2018, 2019, 2021, 2024) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring brake advisories across 5 tests (2018, 2019, 2021, 2024) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Nearside Front Inner CV boot split (Jan 2021) and anti-roll bar linkage (Jan 2021) are recent failures.
  • Unusually large mileage difference (556 mi) on 24 Jun 2016 retest pair is a red flag for data integrity.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 18 years, averaging 8,771 miles/year.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in recent tests.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe vehicle.
