2011 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · LP60 RKN

The most recent MOT on 29 April 2025 recorded a PASS at 168,691 miles, indicating the vehicle met the statutory requirements at that test. The alternating PASS/FAIL entries in 2024 and 2025, each without recorded defects, suggest an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical deterioration; overall the trend appears stable. At 168,691 miles the Passat has accumulated roughly 11,200 miles per year since its 2011 registration, a mileage level that sits comfortably within the normal range for a vehicle of this age. No sudden spikes or prolonged gaps are evident in the record; the mileage progression from 159,598 miles in April 2023 to 168,691 miles in April 2025 reflects a steady, moderate use pattern. Given the absence of recorded advisories, a buyer should still verify the condition of wear‑related components that commonly degrade with mileage. Inspect tyre tread depth and uniformity, examine brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, and feel for any play in the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs. A visual check for corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches, and exhaust system will confirm that the vehicle’s structural integrity remains intact. A brief road test will reveal whether the steering feels precise, the brakes engage without pull, and the engine runs smoothly at idle and under load. Confirm that all lights, indicators, and emissions controls operate correctly, as these items are not reflected in the MOT record but are essential for ongoing compliance.
