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.
