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 16 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 18,051 miles. While mileage is very low, the consistent annual usage and prompt resolution of minor advisories make this a solid purchase.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage averaging 3,848 miles/year, with consistent readings from 43,953 miles in April 2019 to 67,720 miles in August 2025, suggesting a low-stress life.
Things to check
- Very low annual mileage (3,848 mi/yr) over 18 years may indicate limited use or long periods of inactivity.
- Two tyre advisories (Aug 2025) for nearside rear and offside rear tyres, though resolved, suggest recent wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Perfect MOT record: 7 consecutive passes with no failures or dangerous defects since 2014.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (3,848 mi/yr) suggests a well-preserved vehicle with minimal wear.
- No recurring system failures or structural neglect evident in the MOT history.
