2011 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · FH11 HHA

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 13 August 2025 at 175,756 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, as every pass and fail entry shows a clean sheet with no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2011 vehicle. The record shows 136,408 miles at the 11 August 2023 test, rising to 156,818 miles by 22 August 2024 and 175,756 miles by 13 August 2025. That equates to roughly 20,000 miles per year over the period, above the lifetime average of 11,717 but not extreme for a high-mileage commuter. Two same-day fail/pass pairs on 22 August 2024 and 13 August 2025 at identical mileages suggest administrative re-tests rather than rectified defects, since no faults were listed on either failure. The absence of recorded advisories means the MOT data gives no direct warning on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of these components given the 175,756-mile count and 15-year age. Drivetrain mounts, exhaust emissions hardware, and underbody rust protection warrant close scrutiny that a pass with no defects does not capture. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline, with no lapsed certificates and no ignored minor consumable wear flagged across the timeline. The clean record implies basic upkeep was met, though the sparse entries leave genuine mechanical condition unverified beyond the tester's spot check on the day.
