AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 32,299 miles. The recent brake disc advisory also warrants careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 32,299 miles over 10 years, averaging 8,779 miles per year, which is slightly above the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- Recurring shock absorber leaks (2020 advisory, 2021 major failure) indicate a structural weakness.
- Persistent tyre advisories (2021, 2023, 2025) suggest a history of wear and tear.
- Recent brake disc advisory (Jul 2025) indicates an upcoming maintenance cost.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until July 2026 provides immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
