AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2008 Volkswagen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 73,353 miles. The vehicle's high annual usage and lack of recent MOT validity present significant risks.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,172 miles/year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 2,871 miles from May 2020 to July 2021).

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2022-07-22; no current MOT validity.
  • High annual mileage (12,172 mi/yr) suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
  • Single MOT failure on 2011-04-07 for shock absorbers, though rectified.
  • No recent MOT history since 2021, indicating potential neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • No recurring major failures or dangerous defects found in the MOT history.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, despite high annual usage, shows no fraud.
