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 25,744 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a recent MOT failure, raises significant concerns about its maintenance and safety.
The vehicle has only 25,744 miles recorded over 10 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, which warrants careful investigation for potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (May 2026): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- May 2026 MOT failure for worn brake pads and damaged tyres, indicating critical wear.
- Extremely low mileage of 25,744 miles over 10 years, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
- The 2016 Caddy has a known timing belt issue (not shown in MOT), which is a significant future cost.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until June 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No major structural failures or recurring major defects recorded in its history.
