AI verdict CAUTION 70/100
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 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 12,725 miles. The car's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a history of dangerous tyre defects, raises concerns about its true condition and usage.
The vehicle shows a consistent but very low annual mileage of 3,540 miles/year, with a significant anomaly of only 12,725 miles recorded over 10 years since registration in January 2016.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 12,725 miles over 10 years (Jan 2016) — a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- Brake hose advisory from March 2026 MOT — a new wear item noted on a low-mileage vehicle.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until March 2027 — no immediate retesting required.
- No recent MOT failures — the single failure in March 2023 was immediately rectified.
- Consistent, low annual mileage — suggests light use and potentially lower wear on engine components.
