2006 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA SE TDI 1051.9L HEAVY OIL

The Volkswagen Jetta passed its most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 at 225,313 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied record reads as stable. The November 2024 failure at 218,202 miles carries no listed defects, with a clean pass following on 18 November 2024 at 218,370 miles, indicating the car was retested and cleared within the same month. Prior tests in July 2023 at 210,601 miles and May 2022 at 203,264 miles also passed without advisories, so the documented history shows no escalating mechanical concerns. Annual mileage averages close to 11,266 miles against the vehicle's 2006 build date, which is typical for a two-decade-old diesel. The record shows a gap of roughly sixteen months between the May 2022 test and the July 2023 test, then a longer interval before the late-2024 tests. Between July 2023 and November 2024 the car covered about 7,769 miles, a lower-than-average rate suggesting lighter use or periods off the road. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables, though the absence of advisories at high mileage is unusual and warrants verification. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue not captured by a pass with no defects. At 225,313 miles the original drivetrain components and exhaust emissions system merit close examination for wear and corrosion. The unexplained November 2024 failure with no recorded defects points to a possible documentation omission or minor rectification, so confirm the retest paperwork and check structural integrity underneath before purchase.
