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 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 36,911 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated failures and advisories point to a vehicle requiring ongoing and significant maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,237 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though there was a significant 1-year period (Aug 2022-Aug 2023) of very low usage (1,889 miles).

Things to check

  • Aug 2019: Front brakes imbalanced by >50% (DANGEROUS failure) — critical safety system.
  • Aug 2019: Nearside Front Suspension arm excessively worn (MAJOR failure) — structural integrity.
  • Aug 2020: Offside Rear Tyre had ply/cords exposed (DANGEROUS defect) — immediate safety hazard.
  • Aug 2025: Rear Brake pads wearing thin (ADVISORY) — imminent replacement cost.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 17 years, averaging 8,237 miles/year.
  • Valid MOT until August 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • Immediate retests after failures demonstrate owner's responsiveness to issues.
