2011 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · FY61 MDX

The 2011 Volkswagen Passat presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 5 March 2026 at 160,704 miles recording no defects. Earlier examinations on 10 December 2024, 2 January 2024, 9 December 2022 and 6 January 2022 likewise returned passes with zero advisories, confirming consistent compliance across the lifespan sampled. From the 6 January 2022 test at 132,138 miles to the 5 March 2026 test at 160,704 miles the odometer advanced 28,566 miles over four years and two months, equating to near 6,800 miles per annum. This runs below the vehicle's lifetime average of around 10,700 miles per year from 2011 build. The later interval shows further slowdown, adding only 5,148 miles between 10 December 2024 at 155,556 miles and the final test. No lengthy gaps break the annual cycle and the DVSA file remains clean of flagged wear. Previous owners upheld test-standard condition without recording suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust emissions failures across any entry. That pattern implies rectification ahead of each examination rather than deferred mechanical risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity at sills and subframes, probe suspension arm bushes for play, measure brake disc thickness, and check exhaust system corrosion given fifteen years of service and 160,704 total miles. Minor consumables such as tyres and wiper blades escaped advisory status yet deserve a visual check before purchase.
