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

This 2009 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 25,238 miles. The vehicle's age and past advisories on critical wear items suggest potential future costs.

The mileage trajectory shows a normal annual usage of 8,856 miles/year, but a critical anomaly exists: an unusually high mileage jump of 28,140 miles/year equivalent occurred before August 2013, which is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Unusually high mileage jump of 28,140 miles/year equivalent before Aug 2013 — potential odometer fraud.
  • Recurring brake system advisories (Sep 2018, Sep 2021) indicate significant wear and imminent replacement.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (Mar 2024, Mar 2025) suggest potential underlying issues or neglect.
  • The 2023 MOT gap, where no MOT was recorded, is a concern for unverified maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Strong overall MOT pass record with 14 of 16 tests passed and no dangerous defects.
  • Low annual mileage of 8,856 miles/year is consistent with normal UK usage.
  • Recent MOT pass in March 2026 with a long expiry date until March 2027.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
