2011 Volkswagen Sharan 2.0L Diesel · WN61 TYH

The 2011 Volkswagen Sharan presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 January 2026 at 249,376 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the last three successive annual passes, showing no escalation in faults or advisories since the single failure logged in early 2024. The recorded mileage of 249,376 against a 15-year lifespan equates to roughly 16,625 miles per year, which is high for the vehicle's age and points to sustained motorway or fleet-style use. The records show a clean run from 219,926 miles on 13 July 2023 to 238,094 miles at the failed test on 3 February 2024, then a retest pass three days later at 238,386 miles. Annual increments since have held near 6,000 miles, with the latest test just under six months old relative to today's date. The February 2024 failure carries no listed defects, which suggests an administrative or emissions-measurement anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the immediate pass confirms the Sharan was brought back into compliance without recorded rectification. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the five entries, so the history alone gives no signal of worsening structural or consumable wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the coil springs, subframe mounting points, and brake calipers given the high mileage and age, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not capture incipient wear below test thresholds. Verify the service history matches the 16,625-mile annual average and confirm no outstanding recall work on the Sharan chassis before purchase.
