This 2009 Volkswagen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 8,345 miles. The vehicle's very low mileage and unexplained history make it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The vehicle's mileage shows a critical 12-year gap (Jan 2009 to Oct 2012) with no recorded MOT tests, followed by a significant decrease in recorded mileage between Oct 2012 (8,345 mi) and Sep 2013 (6,609 mi).
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Oct 2012 (8,345 mi) and Sep 2013 (6,609 mi) — possible odometer tampering.
- Mileage decreased between Oct 2012 (8,345 mi) and Sep 2013 (6,609 mi) — possible odometer tampering.
- No MOT tests recorded between Jan 2009 and Oct 2012 — a 12-year gap in official records.
- Very low annual mileage averaging 2,437 miles/yr since 2009 — well below UK average.
Working in its favour
- Current MOT is valid until April 2027, indicating it passed its most recent test.
- No immediate MOT failures or dangerous defects are currently outstanding from the latest test.
- The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017), suggesting good inherent safety features.
- The car has a consistent, albeit very low, mileage history since the 2012-2013 anomaly.
