This 2009 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 22,336 miles. The 17-year age and low annual usage mean significant wear is likely.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,699 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, though the 2015-05-06 failure date is unexplained.

Things to check

  • 2015-05-06: Vehicle failed its MOT with no defect details provided.
  • Recurring Tyres: 6 advisories across 4 tests (Nov 2021, Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Dec 2024) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring Emissions: 2 advisories across 2 tests (Dec 2023, Dec 2024) suggest a persistent issue.
  • Low Annual Mileage: 4,699 miles/year is significantly below average, implying long periods of inactivity.

Working in its favour
