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 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 39,726 miles. While the mileage is consistent, the high annual usage and numerous advisories suggest significant upcoming repair costs.

The vehicle shows consistent mileage, averaging 12,526 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage from 2019 to 2021, but no signs of odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Aug 2018) escalated to DANGEROUS failures (Jul 2019), indicating a reactive maintenance culture.
  • Multiple suspension component advisories (2013, 2014, 2019) and failures (2019) point to a history of neglect.
  • Consistent high annual mileage (12,526 mi/yr) for a 2009 vehicle will accelerate wear on all components.
  • The 2025 MOT gap suggests a period of non-use or potential SORN, which can lead to new issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects have been left unresolved for extended periods.
