2011 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · N4 LTH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 November 2025 at 167,018 miles with no defects recorded. While the history shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded advisories suggests that the owner addresses specific faults only when they trigger a failure. The trend indicates a reactive maintenance approach rather than a progression of worsening mechanical degradation or structural decay. The mileage profile is consistent with typical UK usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 to 11,200 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, with 6,467 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 6,020 miles between December 2024 and November 2025. This regularity suggests the car has been used regularly, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and preventing the-related issues often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the recent failures at 160,997 miles and 165,999 miles, as the record does not specify the reason for failure. It is vital to verify if these were minor items such as light bulbs or wipers, or more significant mechanical issues. Given the high mileage and age, a close examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and structural integrity of the underbody is necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing that has not yet reached the threshold for an advisory note.
