This 2016 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 20,653 miles. The mileage anomaly, combined with the dangerous tyre defects, presents an unacceptable risk.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 20,653 miles in September 2019, followed by only 16,850 miles over the next 10 years, indicating a significant discrepancy or potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2019-09-13 (all four tyres) — immediate safety concern.
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 36,503 miles over 10 years (expected 81,947 miles).
- Mileage anomaly on 2019-09-13 test: 20,653 miles recorded, then 24,792 miles on 2020-06-18.
- Mileage anomaly on 2023-06-01 test: 31,020 miles recorded, then 33,926 miles on 2024-06-01.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for a 2016 model.
- MOT valid until 2026-06-17 — no immediate MOT renewal costs for the buyer.
- No recurring failures on critical systems (brakes, suspension, steering) — only tyre advisories.
