2011 Volkswagen Jetta 1.6L Diesel · DP11 FGG

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on June 17, 2025, at 148,231 miles. The record shows consistent compliance with no mechanical failures or structural defects reported over the last five years of testing. While the history indicates a recurring minor issue, the core mechanical components required for the MOT test have met the minimum safety and environmental standards across all consecutive inspections. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Data shows steady usage, moving from 101,204 miles in June 2021 to 148,231 miles in June 2025. This pattern suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine seals, gaskets, and brake components. The intervals between tests remain largely annual, indicating the previous owners have adhered to the UK's statutory testing schedule. A buyer should focus specifically on the windscreen, which has been flagged for damage in 2021, 2024, and 2025. Although the tester determined these chips did not adversely affect the driver's view, the recurring nature of this fault suggests a lack of cosmetic repair or frequent stone impacts. Given the high mileage and age, a physical inspection of the timing belt and water pump is essential, as the MOT record does not confirm their replacement interval. Additionally, the buyer should check the chassis for corrosion and inspect the suspension bushes for wear, as these are common points of failure for this model at this mileage that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they become critical.
