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 22 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 17,499 miles. While mileage is consistent, the sheer volume of advisories and failures across multiple years indicates significant wear and potential for future costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,403 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 2023 MOT gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories across 10 tests (Jan 2021, Aug 2022, Dec 2024) signal chronic wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (Jan 2021, Aug 2022) indicate a history of neglect.
  • Major engine/oil failure in Jan 2021 and Jan 2022, though fixed, points to past neglect.
  • Major suspension failure in Aug 2022, though fixed, highlights past structural issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • All major failures (emissions, lights, engine) were immediately rectified and passed subsequent tests.
  • Euro
