Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This 2022 Volkswagen Passat has a short, clean MOT record with two passes and no failures. The most recent test was six months ago in December 2025 at 27,147 miles, so the car has likely done few miles since. That mileage is about average for a four-year-old car, suggesting ordinary use rather than extreme wear or prolonged inactivity. The only real point of note is a recurring advisory for the offside rear tyre. In 2024 there was a nail in that tyre, then in 2025 a cut (deemed not deep enough to reach the cords). It is unclear whether the tyre was replaced or repaired in between. If it is the same tyre, the damage has shifted from a puncture to a cut, which could point to a tyre that is ageing, has been run on while under-inflated, or has simply been unlucky. The windscreen was also flagged as damaged in 2025, but the tester did not consider it a safety issue. There is no evidence of a worsening mechanical trend. The advisories are isolated to the same wheel and the screen, and no suspension, brake, or structural defects appear.
