2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CV60 ULL

The Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 July 2025 at 140,945 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The July 2025 test shows a pass and a same-day fail with no defects logged, a pattern repeated on 5 July 2023 when a fail at 111,345 miles preceded a pass at 111,346 miles. These paired entries suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults, as no advisories or defects appear against any test in the chain. Annual mileage sits at a typical 8,809 per year for a 16-year-old car. The record moves from 111,346 miles in July 2023 to 126,167 miles in June 2024, then to 140,945 miles by July 2025. That equates to roughly 14,800 miles in the first interval and 14,800 in the second, a consistent accumulation with no standing periods or sudden jumps. The DVSA data is clean throughout, carrying no recorded advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Sixteen years of age invites structural rust on sills, subframes, and suspension mounts even when testers logged nothing. Check coil springs, track-rod ends, and brake disc thickness for consumable wear the annual test may not have flagged as advisory. The repeated same-day fail-pass pairs imply the previous owner addressed any presentation issue promptly, but the absence of advisories offers no insight into upcoming consumable replacement. Verify service history independently and confirm the 2025 failure cause with the issuing garage before purchase.
