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 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 29,761 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and repeated safety issues make it a high-risk purchase.

Mileage is consistent, averaging 10,642 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a significant spike in 2024.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2023-09-23 (test 156,756 mi) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-09-27 (test 178,333 mi) — repeated safety concern.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 7 separate tests (e.g., Sep 2019, Sep 2020) — consistent wear pattern.
  • Recurring suspension advisories across 4 separate tests (e.g., Sep 2022, Sep 2023) — structural neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,642 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-29, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
