2010 Volkswagen Passat 3.6L Petrol · BD10 EJO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 5 December 2025 at 69,486 miles with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing tests without any noted advisories or mechanical failures over the last three years. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 4,343 miles per year. The distance covered between the November 2023 test at 60,194 miles and the December 2025 test at 69,486 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 4,600 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or significant periods of neglect. The record shows two failures in November 2024 and November 2025, though the DVSA data provides no specific defects for these instances. This suggests the failures were likely due to minor administrative errors or quick-fix consumables that were rectified immediately. The absence of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion is unusual for a sixteen year old vehicle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and tyre perishing. Check the date codes on the tyres and inspect the underbody for surface rust, as the clean MOT history does not guarantee the absence of age-related degradation in the chassis or fuel lines.
