This 2016 Volkswagen has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 44,008 miles. While the MOT history shows consistent low mileage and no recent failures, the underlying engine timing belt issue makes this vehicle an AVOID.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 44,008 miles over 10 years, averaging 8,181 miles per year, which is in line with UK expectations.
Things to check
- Critical unresolved timing belt recall for 2.5L engine — major safety and reliability concern.
- Recurring major suspension failures (coil springs) in 2019, 2021, and 2025 indicate structural wear.
- Persistent brake disc and pad advisories from 2024 to 2026, escalating to major failures, point to chronic neglect.
- Multiple tyre advisories and failures across 2019, 2026, and 2026 highlight a pattern of deferred wear item replacement.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent, normal annual mileage of
