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 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 68,442 miles. The mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage in recent years, raising questions about its maintenance.

The mileage shows a significant drop from 123,697 miles in May 2019 to 137,820 miles in November 2020, and then a further dramatic decrease to 151,705 miles by December 2024, indicating a clear shift to very low annual usage.

Things to check

  • Dangerous brake disc wear advisory on 2025-12-18 indicates imminent safety risk.
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across 6+ tests (e.g., 2020-11-25, 2022-12-01) suggest chronic neglect.
  • Major engine/oil failures on 2020-11-25 and 2023-12-01 point to underlying powertrain issues.
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Oct 2013 (16 mi/yr equivalent) and after Dec 2024 (551 mi/yr equivalent) is a major red flag.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-18 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No mileage anomalies detected in the first 10 years of ownership, indicating consistent use.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for overall safety features.
