2010 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · FE10 OAY

The 2024‑06‑13 MOT at 116,207 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has been stable over the past two years. Mileage has increased from 102,521 miles in June 2022 to 116,207 miles by June 2024, an average rise of roughly 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 16‑year‑old Passat; the only notable gap is the dual testing on 15 June 2023 at 110,922 and 110,923 miles, indicating a retest after a minor issue was addressed. Although no defects were logged, the repeated testing in 2023 suggests that previous advisories may have related to suspension bushes, coil springs or brake binding, components that commonly require re‑inspection after remedial work. A buyer should therefore conduct a thorough physical inspection of the under‑body and wheel‑arch regions for structural rust, verify the condition of suspension components, examine brake discs and calipers for binding, and confirm that the exhaust system meets emission standards; the clean record is encouraging but a detailed on‑site assessment remains essential.
