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 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 33,425 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the consistent advisories and failures point to a vehicle requiring significant ongoing maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,088 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but shows a significant initial spike to 96,262 miles by Feb 2019.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm failures and advisories from Feb 2020 to Feb 2026 indicate chronic neglect.
  • Brake system failures and advisories from Jan 2021 to Feb 2024 show a pattern of poor maintenance.
  • Tyre advisories from Feb 2024 to Feb 2026, including a DANGEROUS defect in Feb 2024, highlight a persistent wear issue.
  • Engine/Oil advisory noted in Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2022, and Feb 2023, though not a failure, suggests a long-standing issue.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until March 2027, indicating it currently meets basic safety standards.
  • Mileage is consistently low for its age, averaging 7,088 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating a solid basic safety platform.
