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 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 22,732 miles. While it has a valid MOT until October 2026, the complete absence of data for over a decade is a major red flag.

The vehicle's MOT history shows a complete absence of records from 2015 to 2024, with only 5,426 miles recorded between July 2023 and August 2024, which is highly suspicious.

Things to check

  • Complete MOT history gap from 2015 to 2024 — no records for 9 years.
  • Mileage anomaly: Only 5,426 miles recorded between July 2023 and August 2024.
  • Brake system recurring issues: Multiple advisories and failures across 2018–2024.
  • Suspension component failures: Coil spring fractured (Aug 2023) and shock absorber wear (Aug 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT until October 2026, indicating it is roadworthy now.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the Oct 2025 pass.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage since 2018.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or tampering in the provided MOT data.
