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 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 33,180 miles. However, a pattern of recurring minor failures and advisories, particularly in the suspension and brake systems, indicates a need for thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal usage of 7,323 miles/year with no anomalies or suspicious drops.

Things to check

  • Aug 2025: Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover failed, a recurring issue.
  • Aug 2025: Offside Rear Brake disc and pads wearing thin, a recurring advisory.
  • Aug 2025: Offside Rear Suspension arm ball joint dust cover failed, a recurring issue.
  • Aug 2025: Front Windscreen wiper failed to clear effectively, escalating from minor to major.

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-21, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent, normal mileage of 7,323 miles/year for its 17-year lifespan.
