2011 Volkswagen Sharan 2.0L Diesel · FR11 ABZ

The 2011 Volkswagen Sharan presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-06-05 at 57,624 miles, which showed no defects. The prior three tests from 2024-09-02 (50,127 miles), 2023-11-21 (45,424 miles), and 2022-12-07 (39,238 miles) also recorded no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A duplicate entry for a failed test on 2023-11-21 at the same mileage as a passing test is likely an administrative error, as no defects were noted. The vehicle’s low annual mileage of ~3,842 miles suggests minimal wear on consumables but raises questions about long-term storage effects. The mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with 6,489 miles added between 2022-12-07 and 2023-11-21, followed by 4,697 miles by 2024-09-02, and 7,497 miles up to the 2025-06-05 test. These figures align with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle but lack data on service intervals or major repairs. The absence of advisories or failures over four consecutive tests implies the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the low mileage may mask hidden issues from prolonged inactivity. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of inactivity, such as dry rot on tyres, corrosion on underbody components, or degraded rubber seals. While the MOT history shows no structural or mechanical faults, the low mileage warrants checking suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for stiffness or uneven wear. The absence of exhaust emissions data in the records also means a live emission test would be prudent to confirm compliance with current standards.
