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 15 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 31,299 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated advisories for critical wear items warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,951 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a notable shift from low annual usage (2011-2022) to higher annual usage (2023-2025).

Things to check

  • Engine oil advisory noted in Jun 2025 test, a common wear item on older diesels.
  • Consistent high annual mileage (11k-13k miles/year) from 2023 onwards after 15 years of low use.

Working in its favour

  • No MOT failures recorded across 7 tests, demonstrating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no anomalies, suggesting honest odometer readings.
  • Recent MOT pass (Jun 2025) with a long expiry date until June 2026.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a robust and safe vehicle.
