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 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 19,668 miles. However, a clear pattern of recurring advisories on critical wear items like tyres, brakes, and suspension requires careful inspection.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 8,966 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 19,668 miles recorded over 18 years.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on tyres (7 flags) and brakes (4 flags) across multiple tests indicate ongoing wear.
  • Exhaust system advisories in Jul 2025 and Jul 2024 suggest a potential long-term issue.
  • Shock absorber advisory in Jul 2025 points to a need for imminent suspension component replacement.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • No MOT failures recorded across 7 tests, demonstrating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage of 8,966 miles/year, aligning with typical UK usage.
  • Valid MOT until August 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
