2011 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · D20 VMO

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy following a pass on 5 August 2025 at 134,849 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test shows no defects, and prior annual examinations returned clean results. The vehicle carries a clean advisory profile throughout. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 2011 model, rising from 113,061 miles at the 7 August 2023 test to 123,798 miles by 7 August 2024 and 134,849 miles by 5 August 2025. That equates to roughly 10,700 miles per year over the last two intervals, slightly above the lifetime average of 8,990 but not indicative of abnormal use. The record is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories or noted consumable wear across any test. Two failures appear on the same dates as passes, on 7 August 2023 at 113,058 miles and 5 August 2025 at 134,848 miles, yet the tester recorded no defects on either occasion. This pattern suggests administrative re-entry or retest logging rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers given the car is fifteen years old with 134,849 miles. The MOT record offers no evidence of neglected upkeep, but clean paperwork at this age does not confirm underside condition or intermittent mechanical faults unseen during a brief test.
