2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · DN60 DHD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test on January 28, 2026, at 165,733 miles. While the most recent result is a pass, the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by retests, suggesting the owner is proactive in rectifying minor defects to maintain compliance. The overall maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle has consistently passed without advisories over the last two years, indicating that identified mechanical issues are addressed promptly. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,358 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test and the February 2025 test, the car covered 11,636 miles, representing a standard usage pattern. The more recent interval between February 2025 and January 2026 saw 8,386 miles driven. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is not prone to sitting, which generally helps prevent seals and rubber components from perishing out due to long periods of inactivity. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the digital history, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of high-wear areas common to the Passat of this era. Focus on the structural integrity of the rear arches and sills, as corrosion often develops over 160,000 miles. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of tearing and check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinness, as the MOT does not capture gradual degradation of components until they reach a failure threshold.
