2011 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · WF61 SKE

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 110,574 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 17 October 2024 at 107,449 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two annual examinations without advisory or failure entries. Mileage accumulation sits close to typical use for a 2011 registered car. The record shows 104,116 miles on 27 October 2023, rising to 107,449 by 16 October 2024 and 110,574 by November 2025, equating to roughly 3,300 miles per year across the documented period against a lifetime average near 7,372. The sparse history shows only two failed attempts, both on consecutive days in October 2023 and October 2024, each reversed to a pass at near identical mileage with no defects logged, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe corrosion given the car is fifteen years old and has covered 110,574 miles. The absence of advisories across the last three passed tests implies previous owners addressed wear items before each examination, yet MOT sheets alone do not confirm the depth of that upkeep. Verify the vehicle has not been laid up for extended periods despite low recent annual mileage, as standing storage accelerates tyre perishing and brake caliper seizure. The repeated same-day fail and pass cycles in 2023 and 2024 warrant a check of the original failure reasons on the DVSA portal to rule out concealed rectification costs.
