This 2016 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 27,750 miles. The vehicle's history shows consistent low usage, which is a positive, but the recent MOT issues warrant careful investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,643 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 27,750 miles recorded since its first MOT in July 2019.
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc advisories in July 2020 and July 2020 indicate a persistent wear item.
- Failed MOT on 2025-07-22, retested and passed on 2025-07-23, suggesting a recent mechanical issue.
- Low annual mileage (5,643 mi/yr) may suggest limited use, potentially affecting component longevity.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent low annual mileage (5,643 mi/yr) suggests light use, potentially extending component life.
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-22, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
