2014 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF64 GHK

The most recent MOT in February 2026 recorded a pass at 137,064 miles, with several advisories. The history shows a consistent, deferred-maintenance pattern that has carried across multiple tests. The front brake discs have been flagged as worn, pitted or scored every year since at least 2022, yet they’ve never been replaced. They’re still not seriously weakened, but they won’t last much longer. Rear brake pads are also repeatedly noted as wearing thin in both 2025 and 2026, so a full brake overhaul is overdue. Tyre wear has been a running concern. In 2024 both front tyres were close to the legal limit; by 2025 the rear tyres joined them with heavy inner-shoulder wear. The 2026 test mentions only a slightly damaged nearside front tyre, which suggests some tyres may have been changed, but you should confirm the condition and age of all four. New for 2026 are corrosion advisories on the rear anti-roll bar and rear sub-frame. They’re not considered seriously weakened yet, but this is the first time structural rust has appeared, pointing to a deterioration trend that will only accelerate with age.
