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 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 11,726 miles. While mileage is low, the extensive history of failures and advisories suggests significant and ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,070 miles per year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 1,095 miles between Sep 2023 and Sep 2024).

Things to check

  • Extensive recurring failures: lights (6 major), emissions (2 major), suspension (1 major), brakes (1 major) — indicates systemic neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (Aug 2020, Sep 2021, Sep 2025) and shock absorber advisories (Sep 2025) — critical wear items.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Aug 2020, Sep 2021, Sep 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2025) and CV boot advisories (Aug 2020, Sep 2021, Sep 2025) — persistent wear.
  • Major exhaust failure (Sep 2021) after advisory (Aug 2020) — indicates reactive, not proactive, maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-25, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
