2011 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · MJ11 AEO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent MOT on 22 December 2025 at 117,537 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, indicating the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements. The mileage is typical for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 7,836 miles per year. The distance covered between the December 2023 test at 104,688 miles and the December 2025 test at 117,537 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 6,400 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The history shows two instances where the car failed immediately before passing on the same day in December 2023 and December 2024. While the records list no specific defects for these failures, this pattern often suggests minor consumable issues were rectified on-site to secure the certificate. Because the record is devoid of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, there are no specific red flags in the data. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and sills for surface rust, as the MOT record does not always capture early-stage corrosion. Checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential given the vehicle's age and mileage, as these critical components are not specifically audited during a standard MOT test.
