Method: mileage pace is the listed odometer divided by model-year age. The comparison benchmark is average annual household-vehicle mileage for the same age band from the DOE/ORNL Transportation Energy Data Book, Table 9.9 ↗. Shown or TMU odometers are labeled and never treated as verified lifetime mileage.
Known-issue check
These are documented model/platform inspection points—not a claim that this vehicle has the problem. “Not stated” means the listing or history reviewed does not prove the item has been addressed.
| Documented model issue / inspection point | Evidence source | Evidence it was addressed on this car |
|---|---|---|
| EGR insufficient-flow and DPF soot-accumulation faults are covered by a Volkswagen technical bulletin | Volkswagen bulletin via NHTSA | Mentioned in listing/history reviewed — verify exact repair details |
| Verify completion of the steering-wheel clock-spring recall, which can affect controls and driver-airbag operation | NHTSA recall 15V-483 | Not stated in the listing/history reviewed |
Before you buy
Use the original listing and vehicle-history documentation to verify current availability, mileage, ownership history, service work, modifications and condition. A missing market benchmark or an issue marked “not stated” should be treated as an unanswered due-diligence question—not as a defect or a negative score.
