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 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 24,505 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and repeated component failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,321 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, suggesting periods of inactivity or very light use.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Oct 2020, Oct 2024).
  • Recurring exhaust system advisories and failures (e.g., Oct 2020, Oct 2024).
  • Recent advisories on Oct 2025 for tyres and a coil spring indicate ongoing wear.
  • Major failure for Offside Rear Shock absorbers fluid leak on Oct 2024.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until October 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage suggests light use and potential for longevity.
