2016 Volkswagen Sharan 2.0L Diesel · SK16 UFE

A pattern of progressive suspension bush wear combined with a one‑off cluster of electronic system faults dominates this Sharans MOT history; the most recent test on 28 January 2026 passed without any recorded defects, indicating that the earlier electronic warnings have been cleared, yet the recurring advisories on front brake disc condition and multiple rear suspension arm pins or bushes suggest wear that has not yet escalated to failure. At 93,809 mi the vehicle averages roughly 9,400 mi per year, a mileage rate that sits squarely within normal usage for a ten‑year‑old model. The MOTs have been logged annually with no prolonged gaps, so the wear observed is consistent with steady, moderate use rather than periods of inactivity or sudden mileage spikes that could mask hidden deterioration. When inspecting the suspension, pay particular attention to the rear arm pins and bushes on both sides – listen for clunking or knocking over bumps, feel for any looseness in the rear wheels, and watch for uneven tyre wear that may indicate excessive play. The front brake discs, flagged as worn and pitted in several tests, should be examined for surface scoring, thickness variation and any pulsation or squealing under braking; a disc thickness measurement by a qualified technician will confirm whether replacement is imminent. Verify that the rear tyres now carry adequate tread – the 2022 dangerous failure for both rear tyres means they should have been replaced, so a visual tread depth check and a tyre pressure verification are essential. Finally, confirm that the ABS, electronic stability control and power steering warning lights remain extinguished after a short drive, as the 2025 failure suggests a previous electronic fault that may have been remedied but could re‑appear if sensors or wiring are deteriorating. A diagnostic scan for stored fault codes will reveal any latent issues. Assuming the suspension bushes, brake discs and electronic systems are either within specification or addressed promptly, the car presents a typical wear profile for its age and mileage, but budgeting for suspension component renewal and possible brake disc replacement is prudent before committing to purchase.
