2011 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · FR11 OBW

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 24 July 2025 at 91,883 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes in 2023 and 2024 alongside the latest result. Two failed tests on consecutive days in July 2024 and July 2025 are anomalous, as both failures list no defects at 87,370 and 91,880 miles respectively before immediate passes the next day; this pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 91,883 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 6,126 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gaps between tests are annual and consistent: 83,019 miles in August 2023, 87,370 in August 2024, and 91,883 in July 2025. Accumulation is steady at around 4,300 to 4,500 miles yearly with no rapid jumps or long dormant periods evident from the data. Given the absence of any advisories or recorded defects across the three years, the MOT record alone reveals no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as the DVSA data provides no evidence of fault but equally no depth beyond pass or fail. The twin zero-defect failures warrant a check of the VOSA failure reasons with the test centre, though the subsequent passes imply no lasting concern.
