AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2008 Volkswagen has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 9,475 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and past failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,505 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2021 and 2024, and a recent spike in 2025-2026.

Things to check

  • Feb 2026 MOT failure for Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Apr 2019, May 2023, Feb 2025) escalated to dangerous defects.
  • May 2023 MOT failure for Offside Rear Tyre slightly damaged/cracking.
  • Apr 2019 MOT advisory for Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until February 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures.
