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 23 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 60,399 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect on tyres, brakes, and suspension requires thorough investigation.

Mileage is consistent, averaging 9,663 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a significant spike in recent years (21,521 miles in 2025-2026).

Things to check

  • Five MOT failures across 14 tests, including a major suspension failure in Feb 2024.
  • Recurring advisories on tyres (10), brakes (7), and coil springs (4) across multiple tests.
  • Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction was noted in Feb 2024 and Feb 2026.
  • Offside Rear Tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing (Feb 2021) and Offside Rear Nail in tyre (Feb 2023) indicate poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • Recent MOT passes (Mar 2025, Mar 2026) after addressing failures.
