2011 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · MJ11 XEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 4 December 2025 at 157,817 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed mechanical requirements as they arose. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between December 2022 and December 2023, the car covered 7,183 miles, followed by roughly 7,187 miles in the following year and 7,243 miles in the year thereafter. This regular level of use is generally beneficial for a vehicle of this age, as it prevents the seals from drying out and keeps braking components from suffering from the corrosion-related issues often associated with long periods of standing. While the most recent tests show no defects, the failure on 13 December 2023 at 144,761 miles indicates a specific mechanical or safety fault that required immediate rectification. Since the MOT record does not detail the specific reason for that individual failure, a buyer must verify that the repair was permanent and not a recurring symptomatic issue. Given the mileage exceeds 150,000 miles, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and the structural integrity of the subframes, as these are the common areas where Passat models typically show wear at this stage.
