2011 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · FG61 WHW

The 2011 Volkswagen Passat shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a passed MOT recorded on 11 November 2023 at 100,945 miles, where the tester logged no defects. The same-day failure on 11 November 2023 at identical mileage carries no recorded defects, which points to an administrative or documentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Prior passes on 26 November 2022 at 93,327 miles and 4 December 2021 at 84,757 miles also returned clean sheets with no advisories. Annual mileage averages around 6,730 against the vehicle's fifteen-year life, a typical use pattern for this age of car. The gap between the December 2021 test at 84,757 miles and the November 2022 test at 93,327 miles shows 8,570 miles covered, then 7,618 miles to the November 2023 test. No rapid accumulation or long stationary periods are evident from the record. The DVSA data is sparse and clean across all four entries, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear MOT history. The absence of advisories means worn coil springs, degraded suspension bushes, or early structural rust were not flagged, but testers only assess visible condition on the day. Verify brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding calipers or thin discs develop between tests. Check underneath for chassis corrosion and inspect exhaust mounts and flexible joints for fatigue not yet recorded. Confirm the 11 November 2023 failure with no defects was a clerical error and obtain the V5C to validate the odometer reading of 100,945 miles against service stamps.
