2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · GV60 YVF

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-06-02 with 208,877 miles, but several advisories were noted, including worn front brake discs, misting of oil from the nearside front shock absorbers, and general corrosion. The overall maintenance trend appears to be worsening, with an increasing number of advisories in recent tests. Worn brake discs, specifically, have been a recurring issue since 2017, with the most recent test indicating they have not been seriously weakened, but their condition still warrants attention. The recorded mileage of 208,877 miles over approximately 16 years translates to a high annual mileage of around 13,055 miles, which may indicate more wear on consumables, suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. Notably, there is a significant gap in mileage accumulation between 2015 and 2016, with 20,000 miles added in just a few months. Conversely, the period from 2017 to 2023 shows a more consistent mileage pattern, with around 10,000 to 15,000 miles added each year. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person, paying particular attention to the front brake discs, which have been flagged as worn in several tests. The nearside front shock absorbers also require investigation, as they have shown misting of oil in the most recent test. Additionally, the presence of general corrosion and rust on the underbody and suspension components suggests that the vehicle's structural integrity may be compromised. Furthermore, the vehicle's history indicates that the rear suspension components have been corroded in the past, so a thorough examination of the rear suspension and surrounding areas is essential.
