2006 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0L Diesel · CV56 EPA

The Volkswagen Jetta passed its most recent MOT on 3 January 2026 at 226,423 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy at the time of testing. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only blemish in the record is a failed test on 22 December 2025 at 226,391 miles that listed no defects, immediately followed by a clean pass twelve days later. Prior tests in December 2023 and December 2024 also returned passes with zero advisories, showing no worsening mechanical pattern across the last three years. The odometer shows 226,423 miles against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 11,321 miles per year which is typical for a two-decade-old vehicle. Annual increments stayed consistent: 207,171 miles in December 2023, 217,480 miles in December 2024, and 226,391 miles in December 2025, equating to about 9,300 to 10,200 miles added each year. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion, so the data gives little insight into consumable wear beyond the bare pass results. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT history records no advisories but does not confirm absence of rust on a 20-year-old chassis. The December 2025 fail with no defects logged suggests an administrative or emissions-readiness issue rather than a hard mechanical fault, yet the brake calipers, coil springs, and exhaust should be physically checked for binding or fatigue not captured by the tester. Given the high total mileage and absent advisory trail, previous owners likely addressed faults between tests without formal logging. Verify service history and inspect drivetrain mounts and steering joints directly before purchase.
