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 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 7,078 miles. However, the extremely low mileage of 7,078 miles over 10 years raises significant concerns about its true usage and potential underlying issues.
The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 2,373 miles/year, with a critical anomaly of 7,078 miles over 10 years, suggesting potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 7,078 miles over 10 years (Sep 2019) — indicates very low usage or potential fraud.
- One minor MOT failure (wipers, Oct 2022) — while rectified, this indicates a past lapse in basic maintenance.
- No advisory details provided for Oct 2022 failure — critical missing information for buyer assessment.
Working in its favour
- 7 of 8 MOT tests passed with no dangerous defects recorded.
- MOT valid until October 2026, indicating a recent successful inspection.
- No recurring major failures or structural advisories found in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety credentials for a 2016 model.
