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 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 16,930 miles. However, a significant history of recurring corrosion advisories on the subframe and anti-roll bar link, combined with a recent tyre advisory, warrants careful inspection.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 8,678 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent test in Jan 2026 recorded 147,778 miles.

Things to check

  • Recurring subframe corrosion advisories (Jan 2024, Jan 2026) indicate ongoing structural wear.
  • Anti-roll bar link advisories (Jan 2024, Jan 2026) suggest a pattern of suspension component wear.
  • Front tyres repeatedly noted as worn close to legal limit (Jul 2018, Dec 2024) signals a recurring maintenance need.
  • A 2020 service gap and a 2025 gap in MOT history require clarification from the seller.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage of 8,678 miles/year aligns well with UK average, suggesting light use.
  • No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
