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 6 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 59,827 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the vehicle's age and high usage warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 18,611 miles per year, with a notable spike of 25,083 miles between Dec 2014 and Nov 2015.

Things to check

  • High annual mileage (18,611 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) suggests more wear.
  • Major failure for Nearside Rear coil spring broken on 2013-11-19 indicates suspension weakness.
  • Major failure for Offside Front Front wheel bearing excessive play on 2013-11-19 points to further drivetrain stress.
  • MOT expired 2016-12-16; current MOT status is 'Not valid' (as of analysis date).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
  • No recurring failures on the same system after initial repairs, suggesting issues were addressed.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending component life.
