2011 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · RK61 OME

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection on January 16, 2026, at 146,377 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows three years of consecutive clean results dating back to 2023, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have met minimum DVSA standards without recurring failures in the recent period. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with a vehicle of this era's age, averaging approximately 9,750 miles per annum. Between February 2024 and January 2026, the car covered 14,986 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect. The only anomaly is the January 2023 failure at 122,582 miles, which was rectified and passed just one month later at the same mileage. This suggests a specific isolated issue that was addressed promptly rather than a chronic mechanical deplet. While the MOT record is currently clean, a buyer should focus on physical wear items common to high-mileage Passats of this generation. Given the 146,000-mile mark, a thorough inspection of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs is necessary as these components often degrade without failing an MOT test. The buyer should also check for corrosion on the brake lines and the integrity of the exhaust system, as the MOT only identifies structural rust once it reaches a point of failure.
