This 2008 Volkswagen has 15 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 11,238 miles.
The vehicle shows only 11,238 miles over 18 years, a significant anomaly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting either very light use or potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 11,238 miles over 18 years (typical: 102,402 miles, n=164 vehicles).
- Very low annual usage: averaging 1,972 miles/year, indicating potential long periods of inactivity or unverified mileage.
Working in its favour
- Perfect MOT pass record: 8 consecutive passes with no failures recorded since 2011.
- No dangerous defects recorded: all advisories were minor and immediately addressed by the owner.
- Long MOT validity: current MOT valid until 2026-08-20, offering peace of mind for two years.
- Consistent low mileage: annual usage has been consistent, if very low, suggesting a single owner.
