2016 Volkswagen Sharan 2.0L Diesel · SF66 VTP

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2024 with 184,866 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a significant improvement following a failed test in August 2022. Since that failure, the car has maintained a clean record across three consecutive inspections, suggesting that the previous mechanical and electrical issues were addressed and rectified. The mileage profile is notably high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 18,500 miles per year. There is a distinct period of heavy usage between August 2021 and August 2022, where the car covered nearly 45,000 miles in just twelve months. However, the rate slowed down considerably between August 2022 and December 2024, with only 39,501 miles recorded over those two years. This high annual mileage typically indicates accelerated wear on the drivetrain and chassis components. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as the history reveals a recurring issue with suspension arm bushes. These were flagged as worn advisories on both sides in 2021 and led to a failure in 2022 due to excessive wear. While these have since passed, the high mileage suggests that other rubber components and lateral control arms may be nearing the end of their functional service life. Additionally, the 2022 failure regarding an inoperative engine management light (MIL) necessitates a modern diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain present in the engine management system.
