2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CT60 DVF

This vehicle has not had a recorded MOT since November 2022, meaning its current roadworthiness is unknown and it is likely overdue for testing. The primary risk pattern is chronic corrosion. The rear sub-frame has been flagged as corroded across multiple years (2020, 2021, and 2022). While previously noted as "not seriously weakened," the persistence of this advisory suggests a stable but ongoing degradation of the chassis. The mileage is very high for a 16-year-old car, averaging nearly 15,000 miles per year. This indicates heavy usage, which typically leads to accelerated wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The 2021 failure highlights this wear, with simultaneous issues involving the exhaust system, coil springs, and brake pads. The overall condition trend appears to be declining. The vehicle moved from structural advisories in 2020 to a combination of structural, exhaust, and suspension failures by 2021. A buyer must first inspect the rear sub-frame and inner arches for advanced rust or structural failure.
