2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CY60 CMV

The 2010 Volkswagen Passat shows a stable roadworthiness trend based on the most recent test. The September 2022 examination at 111,974 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the September 2021 test at 101,980 miles also passed cleanly. The single failure logged on 27 September 2021 at identical mileage and with no defects recorded points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern sits at roughly 6,998 miles per year across sixteen years, which is typical for the vehicle's age. Records jump from 101,980 miles in September 2021 to 111,974 miles in September 2022, an annual gain of about 9,994 miles. This is a moderate rise over the long-term average but not abnormal. The supplied history is sparse, with only three entries and no advisories, so the clean sheet gives limited insight into wear on consumables or structural items. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 111,974 miles. The absence of recorded corrosion or exhaust emissions failures is reassuring, yet MOT tests do not strip components. Check for structural rust on sills and subframes, and verify the timing belt interval, as the Passat's 1.6 or 2.0 TDI units carry strict replacement schedules the MOT will not capture. The duplicate 2021 entries with a failure but zero defects suggest the owner corrected a paperwork or identification issue swiftly rather than neglecting upkeep. Overall the record implies basic compliance, though the thin history means in-person checks on drivetrain and chassis condition remain essential before purchase.
