AI verdict CAUTION 70/100

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 5 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 36,810 miles. The 5-year gap in MOT records from 2015 to 2024 is a significant concern that requires immediate clarification from the seller.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 9,586 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a single 2012 failure at 46,134 miles.

Things to check

  • 2012-04-24 FAILED MOT for windscreen wipers (both front) — indicates a period of neglect.
  • 2011-05-12 ADVISORY: Both front tyres worn close to legal limit — a recurring wear item.
  • MOT HISTORY GAPS: No MOT tests recorded between 2015-07-09 and 2024-01-01 — a critical unexplained period.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Consistent, normal mileage averaging 9,586 miles/year — no fraud indicators.
  • Single 2012 failure for windscreen wipers was immediately rectified on the same day.
