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 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 16,785 miles. The significant drop in annual mileage from 2019 onwards, combined with a 2011-08-10 MOT failure for a suspension bush, warrants careful inspection.

Mileage dropped significantly from 2019 (114,143 mi) to 2021 (116,875 mi), averaging only 1,767 miles/year between Nov 2020 and Nov 2021, indicating a change in usage or potential issues.

Things to check

  • 2011-08-10 MOT failure for Offside Front Suspension arm rubber bush deterioration.
  • Nov 2020 to Nov 2021: Mileage dropped to ~1,767 miles/year, a significant change.
  • Nov 2024: Failed MOT for registration plate lamp, then passed same day.
  • Recurring headlamp advisories noted in 2012 and 2019.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-07, offering peace of mind for two years.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, averaging 6,884 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No recurring major failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or suspension.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2008 model is excellent.
