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 22 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 27,701 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and immediate retest passes suggests a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,382 miles per year, with a notable drop from 129,788 miles in March 2019 to 140,579 miles in March 2020, but no decreases or anomalies.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm failures/advisories across 6 tests (2014, 2019, 2022, 2024, 2026).
  • Recurring tyre wear failures/advisories across 6 tests (2014, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2026).
  • Recurring CV boot split failures/advisories across 4 tests (2014, 2019, 2020, 2021).
  • Recurring wiper blade failures/advisories across 2 tests (2019, 2022).

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 11,382 miles/year, no suspicious drops.
  • No DANGEROUS defects remain unresolved from the latest MOT test.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2026, despite the history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good inherent safety.
