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 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 23,857 miles. While mileage is low, the persistent issues with tyres, brakes, and suspension make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 5,866 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine light usage.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2025): Offside Front Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its st
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects (Oct 2021) and brake failures (Oct 2021, Nov 2022) indicate severe neglect.
  • Recurring suspension failure (Oct 2021) and brake pad wear (Oct 2024) suggest systemic structural issues.
  • Multiple DANGEROUS defects in last 3 years (tyres, brakes) point to a high-risk purchase.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,866 miles/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT data.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
