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 50,947 miles. While many past advisories were resolved, the sheer volume of recurring faults and the recent dangerous tyre failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,696 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though there was a period of very low annual usage (2018-2022).

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded on 2023-12-03 and 2023-12-04, indicating critical safety neglect.
  • Recurring Engine MIL advisory on 2023-12-03 and 2023-12-04, suggesting an unresolved engine management light issue.
  • Recurring Brake disc wear advisory on 2024-12-03, indicating ongoing brake maintenance needs.
  • Recurring Suspension arm wear advisory on 2025-12-01, pointing to ongoing suspension component wear.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-04, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating genuine usage.
  • All past dangerous tyre failures (Dec 2023) were immediately rectified and passed subsequent MOTs, showing responsive ownership.
  • No persistent major failures or recurring dangerous defects in the most recent MOTs (Dec 2025).
