This 2016 Volkswagen has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 15,793 miles. The 2024 service gap and high tyre advisory count warrant careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 4,896 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent period of very low usage (Apr 2025 to Apr 2026).
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (Apr 2019, Oct 2023, Apr 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Dangerous front brake pad failure on 2020-09-28 required immediate repair.
- Major windscreen washer failure on 2019-04-01 and wiper failure on 2020-09-28 show past maintenance gaps.
- A 2024 service gap is noted in the MOT history, suggesting potential periods of neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-04-10 provides significant peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,896 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like engine, transmission, or suspension.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
