2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF10 UDN

The Volkswagen Passat presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 22 November 2025 at 161,833 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the recorded history, with clean passes in November 2024 at 142,450 miles and November 2023 at 132,950 miles. A failed test on 22 November 2025 at the same mileage as the pass suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, as no defects were listed on either entry. The earlier failure on 8 November 2023 at 132,942 miles also carried no recorded defects, reinforcing that these were likely procedural rejections rather than wear-related failures. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,115 miles based on the recorded figures, which is typical for a 16-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 132,950 miles in November 2023 to 142,450 miles in November 2024, then to 161,833 miles by November 2025, showing consistent yearly use of around 9,500 to 19,000 miles. No standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes are evident. The MOT data is sparse on advisories, with every test listing no defects, which limits insight into consumable condition but indicates no flagged concerns at test points. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the vehicle's age and 161,833 miles. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude corrosion on structural members or exhaust degradation that testers may not have flagged under current pass criteria. Verify the 22 November 2025 failure cause with DVSA, as a same-day fail and pass with zero defects warrants confirmation that no genuine fault was briefly present. Given the clean record, previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the lack of advisories across high mileage suggests components like tyres and wiper blades were likely changed outside the test cycle. Inspect for underbody rust and check brake caliper operation before purchase, as these are common unseen risks on a 2010 Passat at this mileage.
