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 72% pass rate and 28,660 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its poor maintenance record, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,425 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS failures recorded for tyres (7 instances) and brakes (3 instances) across multiple MOT tests.
  • Persistent advisory for subframe corrosion from the most recent MOT test in August 2025.
  • Recurring brake pad and disc advisories (Feb 2021, Feb 2022) indicate chronic neglect of safety-critical components.
  • The vehicle has been UNTAXED since registration, which is a significant legal and administrative concern.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no anomalies, averaging 6,425 miles per year.
  • Valid MOT until August 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy despite its history.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
