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 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 25,111 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect in brakes and suspension requires thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 16,763 miles/year, with a significant 995-mile discrepancy between retest attempts on 11 Sep 2015.

Things to check

  • High mileage (212,735 mi) for a 2009 vehicle indicates heavy wear and tear.
  • Recurring brake disc wear (Oct 2018 advisory, Jan 2020 failure) signals chronic neglect.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (Jan 2020, Sep 2021) point to ongoing structural issues.
  • Multiple major failures (Jan 2020, Sep 2021) for critical safety components like brakes and lights.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, despite wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud; mileage trajectory is consistent for its age.
