2011 Volkswagen Golf 1.4L Petrol · KM61 AFY

The Volkswagen Golf shows a stable roadworthiness status, with the most recent DVSA test on 18 February 2026 at 71,111 miles recording a pass and no defects. Prior examinations on 12 March 2025 at 68,546 miles, 18 April 2024 at 67,955 miles, 21 March 2023 at 66,963 miles, and 18 May 2022 at 61,114 miles each returned passes with no advisories. The maintenance trend is therefore consistent and free of worsening faults across the available four-year record. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,741 miles per year overall. The records reveal a pronounced slowdown in use recently: the car covered 5,849 miles between May 2022 and March 2023, then only 992 miles to April 2024, 591 miles to March 2025, and 2,565 miles to February 2026. Such low annual figures suggest extended periods of standing rather than daily commuting. The supplied history is clean but sparse before 2022, leaving earlier upkeep unverified. No test in the sequence flagged recurring problems with suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, binding calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, indicating previous owners met minimum test thresholds. A buyer should still inspect these components in person given the car's age and low-mileage storage pattern. Examine subframe and sills for rust, check rubber bushes for perishing, confirm calipers move freely, and assess tyre sidewalls for cracking. The absence of MOT advisories does not confirm long-term component health.
