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 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 14,656 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2011-08-31 MOT failure, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,471 miles per year, with a significant 2011-08-31 MOT failure at 14,656 miles.

Things to check

  • 2011-08-31 MOT failure at 14,656 miles is a major red flag for neglect.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (7 flags) and brake system issues (2 flags) across multiple tests.
  • CV boot split (Sep 2023) escalated to MAJOR failure (Sep 2024), indicating poor maintenance.
  • The 2014-09-01 advisory for 'Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin' was never addressed, escalating to a failure in 2024.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Recent clean MOT pass on 2024-09-25, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests a single owner or careful use.
