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 79% pass rate and 42,789 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring suspension and brake advisories, escalating to failures, indicates ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 6,665 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2025.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Jan 2026) and subsequent failures (Mar 2022) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Aug 2018, Jan 2026) and subsequent failures (Aug 2018) indicate a history of brake maintenance.
  • Rear subframe corrosion noted as advisory (Jan 2026) is a significant long-term structural concern.
  • Rear suspension arm corrosion noted as advisory (Jan 2026) is another long-term structural concern.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age (6,665 mi/yr) suggests light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
