2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AC58 NXM

The Volkswagen Passat last passed its MOT on 8 January 2022 at 169,379 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend neither clearly stable nor worsening due to the sparse and contradictory entries preceding it. Two failures on 6 December 2021 at 168,722 miles and 7 January 2022 at 169,376 miles were logged with no defects cited, then a pass followed one day later at 169,379 miles. This pattern suggests administrative or data-recording anomalies rather than resolved mechanical faults, though the absence of advisories gives no evidence of active structural or mechanical decline at the final test. At roughly 17 years old the car shows 169,379 miles, equating to about 9,963 miles per year and matching typical use for its age. The record jumps from 168,722 miles on 6 December 2021 to 169,379 miles by 8 January 2022, a modest 657 miles in five weeks that implies the vehicle was barely driven in its final logged months. No earlier history is supplied, so long-term wear on consumables, suspension bushes, or drivetrain cannot be traced, but the low recent accumulation points to a car that stood largely idle before its last tests. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the age and unknown upkeep before the 2021 entries. The tester raised no advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers, yet the unexplained fail-pass sequence within 48 hours warrants scrutiny of the vehicle's true test condition and any omitted minor defects. Verify the odometer against service stamps, as the three close-mileage tests hint the car changed hands or sat unused through late 2021.
