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 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 23,140 miles. However, a 2012 MOT failure for exposed tyre cords, combined with a 2025 advisory for a worn coil spring, indicates significant wear and potential neglect.

Mileage is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,073 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes observed across 18 years.

Things to check

  • 2012-04-18 FAILED: Nearside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b) — a dangerous defect.
  • 2025-10-30 ADVISORY: Nearside Front Coil Spring worn close to the legal limit (5.3.2 (c)) — imminent repair.
  • 2025-10-30 ADVISORY: Engine Oil level

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-30, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory with no suspicious anomalies.
  • No recurring major failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms strong safety standards.
