2011 Volkswagen Beetle 1.4L Petrol · FL11 VDN

The Volkswagen Beetle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 88,874 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in November 2024 and December 2023 also closed as passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the three-year record. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2011 model, rising from 82,339 miles at the December 2023 test to 86,642 miles in November 2024 and 88,874 miles by December 2025. That equates to roughly 2,300 miles per year over the recorded span, well below the 5,925-mile annual average for its age. The clean MOT slate with no corrosion, suspension, or brake advisories suggests either light use or careful storage, though long standing periods can hide perished seals or flat-spotted tyres not caught in a static test. The December 2023 and November 2024 entries each show a failed attempt on the same date and mileage as the eventual pass, with no defects listed. This points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical reject. A buyer should still confirm the V5C and test certificate match the DVSA timeline. In person, the buyer should check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking, inspect brake discs and calipers for binding after standing, and examine sills and subframes for structural corrosion. The low mileage means consumables like wiper blades and tyres may be older than the tread depth suggests.
