This 2016 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 43,750 miles. The car's low annual usage in recent years is a major concern.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until 2022 (85,187 mi), then a sharp drop to 88,530 mi by Dec 2023, followed by a further significant decrease to 90,903 mi by Mar 2026, indicating a significant change in usage patterns.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 88,530 mi (Dec 2023) followed by 88,877 mi (Aug 2024) and 90,874 mi (May 2025), then 90,903 mi (Mar 2026) — suspiciously low recent usage.
- Single MOT failure: Aug 2024 (88,877 mi) — no defect details provided, but a failure is a concern.
Working in its favour
- Strong overall MOT record: 8 of 9 tests passed, with no dangerous defects recorded.
- Consistent annual mileage: 8,909 miles/year average (Jan 2016 to Sep 2019) aligns with UK norms.
- Recent MOT validity: Valid MOT until March 2027, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- No recurring major failures: The single failure in 2024 was not a recurring system issue.
