This 2008 Volkswagen has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 22,810 miles. While it has a recent clean MOT, the recurring exhaust advisory and high cumulative mileage present significant long-term risks.
The vehicle shows a critical high-mileage spike in 2013 (96,771 miles in 12 months), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, indicating potential neglect or a change in usage patterns.
Things to check
- Major emissions failure on 2014-06-17, with a related advisory on 2014-06-17.
- High annual mileage (39,547 miles in 12 months, 2013) followed by low usage (e.g., 14,809 miles in 2015).
- Exhaust advisory recurring on 2014-06-17 and 2015-10-21, indicating an unresolved or persistent issue.
- Vehicle is 18 years old with high cumulative mileage (131,246 miles), increasing wear and tear risk.
Working in its favour
- Recent clean MOT pass on 2015-10-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures on critical safety systems (brakes, suspension, steering).
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2008 model is excellent.
