2011 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AD11 ABU

This 2011 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 10 February 2026 at 176,866 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a state of immediate compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 11,791 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with a notable increase of 15,376 miles between January 2023 and January 2024, and a further 15,341 miles by February 2025. The gap between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests shows a slight decrease in annual usage to 10,685 miles. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear. High-mileage Passats often develop corrosion on the sills and rear subframes, which may not always be flagged if the vehicle has been treated or if the tester was lenient. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements. Given the 176,866 total miles, these drivetrain components are critical points of failure that the MOT test does not specifically monitor. Confirm that the brake pedal feel is firm and that there is no binding in the calipers during a test drive.
