2016 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0L Petrol · KF65 SVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in November 2022 at 67,110 miles resulted in a pass, yet revealed several areas of wear that required attention. While the vehicle maintained a clean record in 2021, the appearance of brake disc corrosion and tyre issues in 2022 indicates that consumable components are only being addressed once they approach the threshold of legal failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. There is a gap of 12,000 miles recorded between December 2021 and November 2022, which represents a period of higher usage. However, since the last recorded MOT was performed over three and a half years ago, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unverified. The lack of recent testing may suggest the car has sat for extended periods, which often leads to rubber perish, seized brake calipers, and fluid degradation. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the alignment, as the 2022 test noted both rear tyres wearing on the inner edge. This suggests a geometry issue or worn suspension bushes that have not yet been rectified. The offside front brake disc was also flagged as pitted and scored, so the buyer should check the remaining thickness and ensure the caliper piston is not binding excessively. Given the previous failure for high carbon monoxide emissions in 2021, the engine should be monitored for rough idling or excessive smoke to ensure the combustion system remains efficient.
