2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CV60 WRU

The 2010 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clear pass recorded at the most recent test on 23 November 2023 at 178,382 miles, where the tester logged no defects. Prior tests on 21 November 2022 at 164,844 miles and 26 October 2021 at 159,908 miles also passed with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical issues, or escalating wear across the three-year documented span. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,149 miles per year against the 16-year age, a typical use profile for this model. The records show 13,538 miles added between October 2021 and November 2022, then 13,538 miles again to November 2023, a consistent annual rate with no sudden accumulation or long dormant gaps. The clean pass history with zero advisories across all three entries indicates the previous keeper maintained basic statutory standards, though the sparse three-test window limits deeper wear insight on older components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the 178,382-mile loading on a 2010 chassis. The MOT data flagged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet DVSA tests at this mileage can miss progressive subframe rust hidden beneath underseal. Verify the exhaust emissions system and check for binding calipers during a road test, as these items draw no advisory but accumulate fatigue past 160,000 miles. Given the absence of recorded defects, the vehicle reflects reasonable keeper care within the test scope. Treat the clean record as a baseline rather than proof of component life, and budget for consumable renewal on tyres, wiper blades, and possible dampers within the next 12 months.
