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 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 23,312 miles. The vehicle's past safety record and inconsistent usage make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 23,312 miles in 2010, then only 1,102 miles in 18 years (Jan 2026), indicating a severe data integrity issue or potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed (Jul 2023) and brakes failed (Jan 2023) — immediate safety concerns.
  • Recurring suspension issues: Engine mounting (Jul 2019), anti-roll bar (Jun 2018, Jan 2023), and CV boot (Jun 2018, Jan 2023) — persistent wear.
  • Recurring emissions failures: Major failure (Jul 2019) and advisory (Jul 2019) — indicates ongoing engine issues.
  • Mileage anomaly: Only 1,102 miles recorded between 2010 and 2026 — a critical red flag for potential fraud.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027 — current roadworthiness certificate.
  • No recurring failures in the last 3 years — recent tests show no repeated failures.
  • Consistent low annual mileage: Average 6,990 miles/year, well below UK average.
  • Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety rating for its age.
