2010 Volkswagen Passat 1.8L Petrol · EX10 ODU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of clean passes over the last several years. The most recent MOT conducted in April 2022 at 124,273 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met all minimum safety standards at that time. However, as four years have elapsed since the last recorded inspection, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unknown and requires a fresh test and physical evaluation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used family car of this age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between March 2018 and April 2022, the car covered roughly 23,000 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate rather than long periods of stagnation or excessive commuting. This low mileage suggests that wear on drivetrain and suspension components remains moderate, though the age of the vehicle means the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and seals remains regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension geometry, as the 2019 test at 106,124 miles flagged both rear tyres stepping on the inside edge. This typically indicates worn rear control arm bushes or misaligned camber which can lead to premature tyre failure if not properly addressed. The 2020 entry regarding low oil levels suggests the engine may be consuming oil, necessitating a check for external leaks or internal wear during a physical test drive. Given the four-year gap since the last official record, a thorough inspection of the chassis for corrosion and the condition of the brake discs and hoses is essential to ensure no hidden faults have developed while the vehicle remained unmonitored.
