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 80% pass rate and 8,193 miles. The car's age and low annual usage present unique risks.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent low usage (5,079 mi/yr) until a 30,028 mi/yr equivalent jump before Jan 2024, followed by a 29,453 mi increase over 12 months.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: Unusually high mileage jump before Jan 2024 (30,028 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Recurring suspension advisories: 5 advisories across 4 tests (Feb 2019, Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2022, Jan 2023).
  • Recurring tyre advisories: 4 advisories across 3 tests (Feb 2019, Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Dec 2025).
  • Recent tyre advisories: Front tyres worn close to legal limit (Dec 2025) and rear tyres damaged (Feb 2019).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-08, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems (brakes, steering).
  • Consistent low annual mileage (5,079 mi/yr) suggests light use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for this model.
