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 100% pass rate and 40,861 miles. The vehicle's 17-year age, combined with a 40,861-mile odometer reading, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The MOT history shows a critical mileage decrease: 183,044 miles in Nov 2020 dropped to 116,501 miles in Jul 2022, then only 1,650 miles in the subsequent 2 years, indicating a possible odometer tampering or severe data anomaly.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2020 (183,044 mi) and Jul 2022 (116,501 mi) — possible odometer tamper
- Mileage decreased from 183,044 miles (Nov 2020) to 116,501 miles (Jul 2022) — potential odometer fraud.
- Unusually high initial mileage (67,797 miles/yr equivalent) before May 2019, followed by a significant drop.
- Vehicle is 17 years old with only 40,861 miles recorded, suggesting long periods of inactivity or potential fraud.
Working in its favour
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No test failures recorded across 6 MOT tests, suggesting no immediate safety concerns.
- Consistent annual mileage of 7,286 miles/yr (pre-2019) aligns with typical UK usage.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record for its model.
