2011 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · GY61 DVO

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 October 2025 at 78,281 miles with no recorded defects. The series of annual tests from 2022 to 2025 shows a consistent pass record, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no evidence of deteriorating components over the last four years. Mileage averages roughly 5,200 miles per year, well below the typical annual run‑off for a 2011 model. The odometer rose from 69,654 miles in October 2022 to 78,281 miles in October 2025, a steady increase of about 2,800 miles each year. No abrupt spikes or unexplained gaps appear in the record, suggesting the car has been used modestly and likely subjected to regular servicing. While the MOT data reveal no recurring faults, a prospective buyer should still examine wear items that the test does not capture. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of leakage or uneven wear, verify that brake pads and discs are within thickness specifications, and assess tyre tread depth and uniformity. A visual check for surface rust on structural panels, especially around wheel arches and the under‑body, will confirm that the low mileage has not masked corrosion. A final walk‑around should include a functional test of the steering feel, a brief acceleration to listen for abnormal noises, and a verification that all lights and electronic aids operate correctly. These checks will corroborate the clean MOT history and ensure that no hidden defects compromise the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
