2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AJ10 NFP

The Volkswagen Passat presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 24 June 2024 at 212,072 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 18 February 2023 at 202,163 miles and 22 February 2022 at 308,037 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults or recurring advisories across the available record, indicating consistent test compliance over the observed period. The mileage pattern reveals an anomaly that demands scrutiny. The 2022 test logged 308,037 miles, yet the 2023 test shows only 202,163 miles, a reduction of over 105,000 miles before climbing to 212,072 by mid-2024. Such a reversal suggests a probable odometer error, clocking, or data entry fault in the DVSA record rather than genuine use. At roughly 13,254 miles per year averaged across sixteen years, the car is high mileage for its age, and the 2022 figure implies heavy earlier use that the later readings contradict. Given the clean test history, no specific suspension bushes, brake discs, calipers, or structural corrosion were flagged for this Passat. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of subframe rust, coil springs, and exhaust emissions given the 2010 build year and high recorded distances. The unexplained mileage drop means the true wear on drivetrain and consumables cannot be trusted from the record alone. Verify the odometer against service stamps and V5C before purchase. The absence of advisories offers reassurance on presented condition, but the conflicting mileages undermine confidence in previous owner care and recorded provenance.
