2016 Volkswagen Sharan 2.0L Diesel · BC16 OBY

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 June 2026 at 64,530 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is currently improving, as the mechanical issues identified in the previous year appear to have been addressed before the latest test. The lack of advisories in the final inspection suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,450 miles per year over its ten-year life. The data shows steady progression, moving from 25,228 miles in 2020 to 64,530 miles in 2026. This low annual mileage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage family MPVs, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake-related de-corrosion. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension geometry given the history of wear. The June 2025 test at 56,374 miles flagged both nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes, along with a corroded offside rear coil spring. While these did not cause a failure in the following year, the buyer must verify there is no remaining play in the arms or structural cracking on the springs. The recurring issue of nails in tyres and low tread depth in 2019 and 2022 suggests a history of reactive tyre maintenance, so a thorough check of the current tyre age and depth is essential.
