This 2016 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 30,881 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a significant service gap in 2024, raises serious concerns about its maintenance and true condition.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage for its age, averaging only 9,306 miles/year, with a significant 51-mile increase between Jan 2025 and Nov 2025 MOTs, indicating a period of very low or no use.
Things to check
- Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (Dec 2021, Dec 2023, Dec 2022).
- Suspension arm bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i)) on Nearside Front (Dec 2023).
- Offside Rear Shock absorbers has light misting of oil (5.3.2 (b)) advisory (Dec 2021).
- Significant 51-mile increase between Jan 2025 and Nov 2025 MOTs, indicating very low recent use.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until November 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
- All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests.
