2014 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · RE64 ACX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-12 at 131,640 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, a prior test on 2025-09-09 at the same mileage failed despite no defects being listed, suggesting potential inconsistency in testing or unresolved issues. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 show no defects, implying the car has maintained compliance with safety standards over the past four years. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the record supports a neutral assessment of its current condition. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 10,970 miles annually. Tests spaced 12–14 months apart reveal steady accumulation without significant gaps, reducing concerns about prolonged inactivity. The 2024-05-31 test at 116,227 miles and 2023-05-03 test at 105,055 miles show consistent maintenance, while the 2022-04-13 test at 93,582 miles marks the earliest recorded data. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no evidence of repeated failures or escalating issues. A buyer should verify the resolution of the 2025-09-09 failure, as its cause remains unspecified. While no defects were noted in subsequent tests, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant inspection of suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, and brake systems for binding calipers or uneven disc wear. Corrosion in body seams or underbody panels should also be checked, as these areas are prone to degradation over time. The MOT record does not flag structural concerns, but physical examination is essential to confirm the absence of hidden damage.
