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 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 43,523 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2025-01-21, which is a critical red flag for a 19-year-old vehicle.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until 2024, but a critical anomaly exists: a 1,004-mile difference between retest attempts on 19 Jan 2024 and 22 Jan 2024, and only 397 miles recorded from Jan 2024 to Feb 2025, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed on 19 Jan 2024 and 22 Jan 2024, indicating severe neglect.
  • MAJOR failure: Brakes failed on 19 Jan 2024 and 22 Jan 2024, showing a pattern of critical system neglect.
  • MAJOR failure: Lights failed on 19 Jan 2024 and 22 Jan 2024, indicating a recurring electrical issue.
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: A 1,004-mile difference on 19 Jan 2024 and only 397 miles from Jan 2024 to Feb 2025 suggests potential odometer fraud.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
