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 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 28,859 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated issues indicate a history of reactive maintenance.

The vehicle shows high but consistent annual usage, averaging 15,498 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine high mileage.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2023-12-07 (corrosion) after ADVISORY on 2021-01-13.
  • MAJOR tyre failure on 2023-12-07 (different sizes) after ADVISORY on 2021-01-13.
  • Recurring brake advisories (2021, 2025) and tyre advisories (2021, 2025) suggest a pattern of wear.
  • High annual mileage (15,498 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) will accelerate wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-10, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent high mileage (154,224 mi) suggests regular use, not prolonged storage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT record.
