2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · YB10 AAK

The 2010 Volkswagen Passat presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 June 2023 at 166,820 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures in 2021 and 2022 that carried no recorded defects and were immediately cleared on retest two to three days later. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any point in the supplied record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,400 miles per year against the vehicle's sixteen-year life, a typical usage rate for this age of car. The records show clean progression: 139,045 miles at the May 2021 failure, 139,078 miles at the June 2021 pass, 152,789 miles at the June 2022 failure, 152,841 miles at the June 2022 pass, and 166,820 miles at the June 2023 pass. The two failed tests logged zero defects, which suggests documentation or presentation issues at the testing station rather than neglected upkeep, though the absence of any advisory data limits insight into wear patterns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the car's high absolute mileage and the fact that no advisories were ever logged to track component degradation. The Passat's age and 166,820 miles mean consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust hangers will be due regardless of the clean test history. The repeated no-defect failures preceding immediate passes imply the previous owner maintained basic compliance but the sparse record offers no evidence of proactive mechanical care. Verify the vehicle has not been idle since the June 2023 test, as a three-year gap to the present date would require a fresh MOT before road use.
