This 2016 Volkswagen has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 14,262 miles. The recent, significant mileage increase is also a red flag for potential wear and tear.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until 2024, but a significant jump of 21,089 miles occurred between the Sep 2024 and Aug 2025 MOT tests, indicating a change in usage or potential wear.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Aug 2025): Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-08-26 (70,538 mi) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (2022, 2024) escalated to dangerous failures (2025).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-12, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No odometer fraud detected; mileage trajectory is generally consistent.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like steering or suspension.
- No outstanding recalls or major structural corrosion noted in MOT history.
