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 28,008 miles. The car's maintenance history requires careful scrutiny.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 9,142 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring shock absorber advisories across 8 tests (Aug 2019–Aug 2022) indicate a persistent wear item.
- Aug 2023 MOT failure for worn rear brake pads and discs, then passed same day, suggests reactive maintenance.
- Aug 2024 advisory for damaged front bumper, though not a failure, shows past impact damage.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until April 2027 provides significant peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (9,142 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear on components.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
