This 2016 Volkswagen has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 12,464 miles. The very low mileage for its age, combined with a recent MOT failure, suggests potential underlying issues.
The vehicle shows very low usage averaging 3,024 miles/year, with a significant anomaly of 12,464 miles recorded in Nov 2019, far below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 12,464 miles in 10 years (Nov 2019) — raises odometer fraud concerns.
- Recent MOT failure on 2025-10-22 (29,628 miles) — indicates a test was failed despite the subsequent pass.
- Very low annual mileage (3,024 miles/year) for a 2016 vehicle, suggesting limited use or potential issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety hazards.
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing responsible ownership.
