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 36,130 miles.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,079 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though there are unexplained MOT gaps in 2020 and 2023.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories (7 items) across multiple tests indicate ongoing wear and potential neglect.
  • Offside Front Shock absorbers had a serious fluid leak (MAJOR failure, Jul 2019) and subsequent advisories.
  • Engine oil advisory noted in Jan 2025 and Jan 2026, suggesting a persistent maintenance issue.
  • Unexplained MOT gaps in 2020 and 2023 suggest periods of off-road use or lack of maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its 17-year age, averaging 8,079 miles/year.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the latest MOT tests.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record.
