2011 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · FM61 AHJ

The 2011 Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 22 August 2025 at 222,237 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The three consecutive annual passes from August 2023 through August 2025 show no advisories or mechanical faults, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that clears the statutory roadworthiness threshold without recurring concerns. The recorded mileage of 222,237 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 14,816 miles per year across the vehicle's fifteen years, a high but consistent usage pattern for a Transporter typically employed as a working van. The gap between the 31 August 2021 test at 186,941 miles and the 23 August 2023 test at 205,953 miles leaves a two-year void in the supplied record, though the 18,012 miles accrued across that span aligns with the long-term average. The sparse history shows only one failure, logged on 21 August 2023 at 205,953 miles with no defects cited, reversed two days later by a clean pass, suggesting an administrative or test-procedure anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record supplies no advisories on these areas across high mileage and offers no assurance they are sound. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant physical measurement given the 222,237 miles accumulated, since consumable wear at this distance is inevitable even where the tester raised no flags. Given the clean test lineage and absence of flagged faults, previous ownership appears to have addressed roadworthiness items before each test rather than deferring them. The two-year documentation gap before 2023 means a physical check of service records remains prudent to confirm drivetrain and exhaust emissions upkeep outside the MOT scope.
