This 2016 Volkswagen has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 17,943 miles. The recurring brake advisories escalating to dangerous failures in 2021, combined with extremely low mileage, raise significant concerns about its maintenance and true condition.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 17,943 miles in Sep 2019, then only 16,874 miles over the next 10 years, indicating extremely low usage or potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 33,817 miles over 10 years (Jan 2016 to May 2026).
- Dangerous brake disc failure on 2021-10-01, following an advisory on 2019-09-12, indicating a recurring and serious safety issue.
- Extremely low annual mileage (3,259 miles/year) suggests prolonged inactivity, which can lead to accelerated component wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (May 2026) and a major windscreen wiper failure (Oct 2021) suggest a reactive maintenance approach.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-14, indicating current roadworthiness and no immediate retest costs.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2021-10-01 retest, showing some recent care.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for this model.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (albeit low) suggest a single owner and no odometer fraud patterns.
