2011 Volkswagen Caravelle 2.0L Diesel · YN61 DFD

The Volkswagen Caravelle presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 3 December 2025 at 103,220 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The December 2025 pass came one day after a failure logged on 2 December 2025 at identical mileage, though the tester recorded no defects on either entry. A similar pattern occurred on 6 December 2023, when a fail with no defects preceded a pass the same day at 90,089 miles. These paired fail-pass entries with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects. Annual mileage has been light for a 2011 van, averaging roughly 6,881 miles per year against the 103,220 miles now shown. The record moved from 90,089 miles in December 2023 to 95,692 miles in December 2024, then to 103,220 miles by December 2025, giving around 5,600 to 7,500 miles per year. No abrupt accumulation or standing gaps appear. The clean advisory history across all four presented tests means no consumable wear, corrosion, or suspension concern was formally flagged. Given the absence of recorded advisories or defects, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, brake discs, and suspension bushes, as a 15-year-old vehicle can hide corrosion or worn components between tests. The repeated no-defect fails on 2 December 2025 and 6 December 2023 warrant confirmation that the V5C and DVSA portal show a genuine pass and no suppressed fault. Verify in person that the 103,220-mile odometer aligns with the December 2025 certificate.
