2011 Volkswagen Sharan 2.0L Diesel · SY61 RWO

The 2011 Volkswagen Sharan passed its most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 160,420 miles, but with several advisories. The overall maintenance trend appears to be worsening, as the vehicle has accumulated more faults over the past few years. The nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, and there was light misting of oil on the nearside rear shock absorbers. Additionally, both nearside and offside rear suspension arm pins or bushes showed signs of wear. The mileage pattern suggests that the vehicle has been driven fairly regularly over the past 15 years, with an average annual mileage of around 10,695 miles. However, there are some notable gaps in the MOT history, such as the period between 2017 and 2024, where the vehicle was not tested until September 2024, at 156,442 miles. This suggests that the vehicle may have been stationary for a significant period, which could have contributed to the wear and tear observed in the recent MOT tests. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension system closely, particularly the rear suspension arm pins or bushes, which have shown signs of wear in multiple tests. The nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint was excessively worn in the 2024 test, and the front brake discs have been worn, pitted or scored in several tests. The buyer should also check the condition of the tyres, as the nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit in the 2025 test. Furthermore, the vehicle's exhaust emissions should be checked, as there is a history of oil leaks and an insecure battery.
