This 2017 Volkswagen has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 19,549 miles. The car's extremely low annual usage (1,267 miles in the last year) is a major red flag for potential odometer issues.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 32,349 miles over 9 years (below 3,500 miles/year average), with a suspiciously low 1,267-mile increase between May 2025 and May 2026.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 32,349 mi (Mar 2022) vs. 61,894 mi (n=344 VOLKSWAGENs) — high fraud risk.
- Major suspension failure on 2026-05-29 (offside front suspension arm bush) — indicates recent neglect or hidden damage.
- Mileage anomaly: 1,267 miles added between May 2025 (31,043 mi) and May 2026 (32,349 mi) — suggests odometer fraud.
- Mileage trajectory: Consistently low annual usage (3,447 miles/yr) for a 2017 diesel, raising odometer integrity concerns.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-06-12, indicating current roadworthiness and no immediate retest.
- No recurring failures or advisories on critical systems like brakes or steering.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests single-owner history and potentially light use.
