This 2016 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 16,910 miles. However, a significant mileage anomaly and very low annual usage raise serious concerns about its true condition and potential hidden issues.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage averaging 3,042 miles/year, with a critical anomaly of only 13 miles recorded between July 2020 and May 2021, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below average: 16,910 miles over 10 years (UK average: 8,000 miles/year).
- Critical mileage anomaly: Only 13 miles recorded between 2020-07-23 and 2021-05-08.
- Very low annual usage: Average of 3,042 miles/year, indicating prolonged inactivity or potential issues.
- Suspension failure: Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (May 2023).
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Strong MOT record: 8 of 9 tests passed, with no dangerous defects recorded.
- Recent MOT pass: Valid MOT until 2027-05-07, indicating current roadworthiness.
