This 2016 Volkswagen has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 85,614 miles.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 22,491 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles, which will accelerate wear on critical components.
Things to check
- High annual mileage (22,491 mi/yr) indicates accelerated wear on engine and drivetrain.
- Community-reported timing belt degradation on 1.4 and 1.6 MPI engines is a significant risk for this 1.6L diesel.
- First MOT failure on 2019-01-23 for windscreen wipers, though rectified, suggests initial owner neglect.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Strong MOT record with 7 passes out of 8 tests, showing general reliability.
- No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- Consistent high annual mileage (22,491 mi/yr) suggests regular use and maintenance.
