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 79% pass rate and 30,617 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated advisories and failures point to ongoing wear and potential future costs.
The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual mileage of 3,735 miles/year, averaging 30,617 miles over 17 years, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension/steering advisories (Oct 2018, Nov 2020, Oct 2022) indicate chronic wear.
- Dangerous tyre defect (Oct 2021) highlights a past safety-critical failure.
- Major brake disc failure (Oct 2022) after an advisory in 2019 suggests a reactive maintenance approach.
- Consistent low mileage (3,735 mi/yr) may indicate limited use, potentially affecting component longevity.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until November 2026 provides immediate peace of mind.
- No mileage discrepancies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
- All past failures and advisories were promptly rectified and passed on retest.
