AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Volkswagen has 10 MOT tests on record with a 90% pass rate and 31,258 miles. The car's low annual mileage for its age, combined with a recent suspension advisory, suggests potential underlying issues.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before April 2025 (213 miles/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, indicating a period of very low use or potential data anomalies.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Apr 2025 (213 mi/yr equivalent).
- Recent suspension advisory: Offside Rear Suspension arm advisory noted (Apr 2026) — monitor closely.
- Engine/Oil failure: One major failure recorded for Engine/Oil (Mar 2025) — investigate cause.
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT record: 9 of 10 tests passed with no dangerous defects recorded.
- Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until April 2027, offering peace of mind for two years.
- Consistent mileage post-2025: Normal annual usage (6,925 mi/yr) since April 2025.
- Euro NCAP rating: 5-star safety rating (2017) — excellent for safety and protection.
