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 76% pass rate and 35,023 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the vehicle's age and the number of recurring issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before May 2015 (37 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage averaging 7,831 miles/year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,013 miles in Jan 2023).

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc wear advisories (Sep 2018, Aug 2020, Aug 2020) indicate a chronic issue.
  • Persistent tyre wear advisories (Aug 2021, Aug 2022) suggest a long-standing problem.
  • Multiple suspension component advisories (Aug 2013, Aug 2013) point to ongoing wear.
  • The 2025-01-01 MOT expiry date is unusually far into the future for a 2008 vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-08 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,831 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
