2011 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · 653 KC

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 2 July 2025 at 82,248 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the five-year record. The vehicle cleared its most recent test cleanly after a failed attempt one week earlier. Annual mileage sits low at roughly 5,483 miles per year against the car's 2011 build date, with the odometer reading 82,248 miles at the latest test. The record shows gentle accumulation: 74,021 miles in June 2023, 78,281 miles in June 2024, and 82,104 miles by June 2025. No large gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, listing only pass and fail outcomes with no defects noted on any entry. The June 2025 failure at 82,104 miles carries no recorded defect, implying an administrative or unlogged reason rather than a mechanical fault, and the car passed nine days later. Given the low mileage and absence of flagged wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the history suggests careful storage and light use by prior owners. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and suspension components, as MOT entries with no defects recorded do not capture latent rust or perishing rubber. Verify the actual cause of the 23 June 2025 failure through the test centre, and confirm cambelt and fluid intervals given the car's age and periods of low use.
