2011 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · NA11 ABZ

The vehicle's roadworthiness status is currently unverified as the most recent MOT record dates back to October 2022. While the car passed that test without any defects, the certificate expired in October 2023. There is no evidence of a valid MOT for the current 2026 date, meaning the vehicle has been off the road or untested for nearly three years. The mileage data contains a significant discrepancy that suggests a recording error or a clocking issue. The October 2021 test recorded 220,238 miles, yet the October 2022 test shows a lower figure of 152,993 miles. This reverse mileage trend is a major red flag. Even if the 152,993 figure is correct, the car has remained stationary for a prolonged period, which often leads to seized brake calipers, perished tyres, and battery failure. A physical inspection must prioritise the drivetrain and braking system. Long periods of inactivity frequently cause brake discs to corrode and suspension bushes to crack. Given the age of this Passat, the buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis. The mileage contradiction requires immediate clarification through service records to determine the true wear on the engine and gearbox. The lack of recent data means the current mechanical state is an unknown risk. A buyer should treat this vehicle as having neglected maintenance since late 2022. Focus on checking for fluid leaks and ensuring the exhaust system has not corroded during its time in storage.
