AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2007 Volkswagen Passat currently holds a valid MOT pass from 27 September 2024 at 125,437 miles, though the tester flagged both rear tyres heavily worn on the inner edge as an advisory. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of minor faults corrected within a day of failure rather than neglect left unresolved. The vehicle passed one day after a 26 September 2024 failure on headlamp aim and a split near-side front CV boot, indicating the previous owner addressed defects promptly once raised. Recorded mileage rose from 95,734 in September 2022 to 111,680 in September 2023 and 125,437 by September 2024, averaging roughly 6,600 miles per year across its nineteen-year life. This is typical for the age and shows no abrupt accumulation or long dormant periods. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests captures 15,946 miles of use, consistent with steady private or light fleet operation rather than short urban-only running. Recurring rear tyre inner-edge wear appeared in 2022, 2024 failure and 2024 pass advisories, pointing to worn rear suspension bushes or misaligned trailing arms needing physical inspection. The off-side rear service brake showed binding but not excessive in both 2022 tests; a buyer should confirm the caliper and handbrake mechanism now move freely. Anti-roll bar linkage ball joints drew dust-cover and slight-play notes across 2022 and 2023, so check for deteriorated bushes and torn gaiters. The 2024 CV boot split exposes the near-side front drive shaft joint to grit ingress if not replaced promptly after the pass. Headlamp aim failed on both fronts in September 2024, suggesting worn mounts or prior misadjustment. Given the age, examine subframe and sills for corrosion and confirm no structural advisories exist beyond the listed consumable and suspension items.
