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 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 27,513 miles. While it has a long MOT, the pattern of brake advisories and a major failure, combined with a 74k-mile jump in 2024, raises serious concerns about its maintenance and true condition.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until 2024, but a massive 74,174-mile jump in just 2 years (Dec 2023 to Dec 2024) is highly suspicious and suggests a significant period of high or irregular use.
Things to check
- Major brake failure recorded on 2024-12-10, with 8 related advisories across multiple tests.
- Unusually high mileage jump of 74,174 miles in 2 years (Dec 2023 to Dec 2024) is a major red flag.
- Recurring suspension advisories (7 items) and electrical/minor defects (3 items) indicate ongoing wear.
- The vehicle is currently Untaxed, which may incur immediate costs upon purchase.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-08, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for safety features.
- Consistent annual mileage before 2024, suggesting regular use.
