2011 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · FT11 VVC

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend in recent years, with the most recent test on 3 March 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pass in March 2025, which occurred shortly after a failure on 7 March 2025. The absence of recorded defects in the last two tests suggests that any previous issues identified during the March 2025 failure were rectified. The recorded mileage of 105,155 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from the January 2023 test through to the March 2026 test. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, though the two tests conducted within three days of each other in March 2025 indicate a specific instance where the vehicle failed to meet minimum standards before being retested successfully. Because the MOT records do not specify the exact nature of the failure on 7 March 2025, a physical inspection is necessary to confirm the current state of mechanical components. A buyer should specifically examine the braking system for binding calipers or worn discs, and check the suspension for perished bushes or leaking dampers. Given the vehicle's age, inspecting the underside for structural corrosion and checking the condition of the exhaust system is also advisable. While the recent passes show no immediate defects, the lack of detailed advisory information in the history means the current condition of consumables like tyres and wiper blades remains unverified by the official record. A thorough check of the drivetrain and steering components during a viewing would provide the necessary clarity that the MOT data alone does not offer.
