2011 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · FE61 YBN

The 2011 Volkswagen Passat, with its most recent MOT test on 2025-10-06 at 131,636 miles, passed with several advisories. The maintenance trend appears to be stable, with minor issues being addressed and no significant deterioration in the vehicle's condition. The advisories include a fluctuating offside front service brake, slight corrosion on the nearside rear coil spring and lower suspension arm, worn front brake discs, and tyres close to the legal limit. Additionally, the rear sub-frame shows signs of corrosion, but it is not seriously weakened. The recorded mileage of 131,636 miles over approximately 15 years suggests an average annual mileage of around 8,776 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The mileage pattern is consistent, with no notable gaps or rapid accumulation. The increase from 117,484 miles in September 2023 to 126,658 miles in October 2024, and then to 131,636 miles in October 2025, indicates regular use without any significant deviations. A potential buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the nearside rear coil spring and lower suspension arm, as these have shown signs of corrosion. The front brake discs, which are noted as worn, pitted, or scored, should also be checked for any further wear. The fluctuating offside front service brake and the condition of the tyres, which were close to the legal limit, warrant a thorough inspection. Additionally, the rear sub-frame, while not seriously weakened, should be examined for any signs of further corrosion. These recurring advisories suggest that while the vehicle is generally well-maintained, there are specific areas that require attention to ensure continued roadworthiness.
