2011 Volkswagen Motorcaravan 1.4L Lpg · WX11 AGY

The vehicle holds a current MOT pass dated 2026‑04‑23 at 120 661 miles, carrying only a minor advisory for slight free play in the steering box (2.3 (a)(i)). The recent test follows two clean entries in 2023 and 2022, indicating that the earlier cluster of failures in 2022‑2020 has been addressed and the car’s condition is stabilising. The latest advisory suggests ongoing low‑level wear rather than a developing fault, so the overall roadworthiness trend is improving but not without residual concerns. Mileage progression shows a marked deviation from the typical 8 000 miles‑per‑year rate for a 15‑year‑old vehicle. Between the October 2023 test (120 647 miles) and the April 2026 test (120 661 miles) only 14 miles were recorded over roughly 2½ years, implying extended periods of inactivity. Earlier records display a steady increase, but the recent flat line points to storage or limited use, which can affect brake disc condition, tyre wear patterns and fluid stability. The gap between the 2023 and 2026 tests also means recent wear trends are not fully captured. A buyer should inspect the steering box for the reported free play, examine the tow‑bar mounting zone and rear integral body structure for the corrosion noted in 2022, and check the front lower axle swivel pins and bushes for wear. The parking brake must be tested for efficiency, the exhaust for leaks, and the reversing lamp for operation. Visual checks on the headlamp lens, windscreen wiper coverage and any obstructions in the windscreen sweep are warranted, as are confirming the stop‑lamp, fog lamp and tyre condition (noting the prior nail puncture). These areas reflect the recurring faults and will reveal any deterioration not evident from the MOT entries.
