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 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 44,898 miles. While it has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, the pattern of wear items failing repeatedly suggests potential neglect.

The vehicle shows consistent low annual mileage averaging 10,985 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though a 2013 MOT gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures (Aug 2012, Jun 2014, Jun 2014) and advisories (Jun 2014, Jun 2014) indicate chronic wear.
  • Brake disc wear advisory (Jun 2014, Jun 2014) and stop lamp failure (Jun 2014) suggest deferred maintenance.
  • Major tyre failures (Jun 2014, Jun 2014) and lights (Jun 2014) caused test failures, impacting safety.
  • The 2013 MOT gap is a concern, suggesting potential periods of unrecorded use or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent low annual mileage (10,985 mi/yr) suggests light use, potentially extending component life.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating a solid safety foundation for its age.
  • The 2017-12-18 MOT pass shows the vehicle was roadworthy at that time, despite prior issues.
