2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CV60 XOU

The 2010 Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 96,258 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from August 2022 through September 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a fail on 31 August 2022 at 77,234 miles, reversed five days later on 5 September 2022 at 77,240 miles with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or minor pre-check issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits at 96,258 over roughly sixteen years, an average of about 6,016 per year and typical for the model age. The records show steady annual use: 77,240 miles in September 2022, 82,863 by August 2023, 89,760 by August 2024, and 96,258 by September 2025. Annual accumulation holds near 6,900 to 7,000 miles with no standing gaps or sudden spikes. The clean pass history across four years suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and emissions within limits. Given the absence of recorded advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion, the MOT data shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring alarm. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underside rust, and brake disc wear, as the test sheets flag none of these but a 16-year-old Passat can hide age-related fatigue. The 2022 fail with no defect cited warrants a check of the original refusal reason to confirm it was procedural, not a suppressed fault.
