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 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 27,177 miles. However, a significant and recurring pattern of brake system failures and advisories, combined with a history of suspension and tyre issues, indicates a high-maintenance vehicle.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 7,205 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low of 5,332 miles in 2025.

Things to check

  • Recurring DANGEROUS brake failures (Nov 2022, Nov 2023) and numerous advisories (2019-2025) indicate chronic brake system neglect.
  • Persistent suspension arm advisories (2019-2023) and CV boot issues (2019-2025) suggest ongoing wear and tear on critical safety components.
  • Major tyre failures and advisories (2012-2025) point to a history of poor maintenance or aggressive driving.
  • The 2011-2014 MOT history shows a pattern of user-entered advisories for child seats and under-trays, which is unusual and may indicate a lack of thorough pre-MOT checks.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-20, offering immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (7,205 miles/year) for its 18-year lifespan, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged storage.
