This 2016 Volkswagen has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 30,548 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2020 service gap, raises significant red flags.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage for its age, with only 30,548 miles recorded over 10 years, and a suspiciously low 34 miles/year between 2016 and 2023.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2025): Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
- Four DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded across multiple MOT tests (Jan 2021, Mar 2025).
- Recurring brake system advisories (Jan 2021, Feb 2026) and failures (Feb 2026) indicate chronic neglect.
- A 2020 service gap is noted, suggesting potential periods of neglect or off-road use.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until March 2027, indicating it is roadworthy now.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
- The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 models is a positive for overall safety features.
