This 2009 Volkswagen has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 27,110 miles. However, a clear pattern of recurring brake advisories and a recent failure for a cut tyre, combined with very low annual mileage, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 6,000 miles/year, but a significant drop in annual mileage (879 miles in 2021) followed by a sharp increase (15,831 miles in 2026) is a red flag for potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc advisories from Apr 2019 to Jul 2021, escalating to a major failure in Feb 2023.
- Nearside Front Tyre had a cut in excess of requirements on 2012-08-07, a serious safety defect.
- Very low annual mileage (e.g., 879 miles in 2021) followed by a sharp increase (15,831 miles in 2026) suggests potential odometer fraud.
- The 2014-03-24 MOT shows 'USER ENTERED: Under-trays fitted obscuring some underside components', a safety concern.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Normal mileage trajectory for its age, averaging 6,000 miles/year.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like engine or transmission.
