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 14,010 miles. While mileage is low, the consistent need for critical repairs suggests underlying issues.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,520 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage between May 2019 (44,288 mi) and Oct 2020 (48,338 mi), and subsequent periods of minimal driving.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Nov 2025): Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (Oct 2020, Nov 2023) indicate chronic neglect.
- Recurring DANGEROUS suspension failures (Nov 2022, Nov 2023) point to systemic structural wear.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,520 mi/yr) suggests minimal use, potentially exacerbating age-related issues.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-14, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No mileage discrepancies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
