AI verdict CAUTION 55/100

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 20,345 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring advisories on critical wear items like tyres, suspension, and exhaust, alongside a major brake failure in 2025, indicates a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,920 miles per year, with a notable drop to 1,102 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, suggesting periods of prolonged inactivity.

Things to check

  • Jun 2025: Major failure for parking brake efficiency, a critical safety component.
  • Jun 2025: Recurring advisories on tyres (6 flags) and suspension (4 flags) across multiple tests.
  • Jun 2025: Recurring advisories on exhaust (3 flags) and fuel system (2 flags) across multiple tests.
  • May 2026: Latest MOT still carries advisories for tyres and coil springs, indicating ongoing wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until June 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
