This 2016 Volkswagen has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 51,046 miles. While these were addressed, the consistent wear on critical safety components warrants careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage averaging 11,837 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal mileage for its age.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Feb 2019, Jan 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2024) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring brake disc and pad advisories across 3 tests (Feb 2021, Feb 2022, Feb 2023) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- DANGEROUS defect for Offside Front Brake pad less than 1.5 mm (Feb 2023) highlights a critical safety failure.
- Major Nearside Front Wheel bearing rough when rotated (Jan 2020) and Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm bush (Feb 2021) indicate past suspension and drivetrain issues.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,837 miles per year is normal and expected.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests, showing responsive ownership.
