2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · J9 NTM

The 2010 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT's roadworthiness status is currently unstable, as indicated by the alternating MOT test outcomes from 2024 to 2025. The vehicle passed on 2024-10-28 with 112,877 miles but failed on 2024-10-25 with the same mileage. This pattern of alternating results suggests a lack of consistent maintenance or unresolved issues that are not being addressed. The vehicle's annual mileage is approximately 7,869 miles, which is consistent with its age. However, the recent history shows a rapid accumulation of 13,637 miles between the 2024-10-28 and 2025-12-23 tests. This accelerated mileage increase could indicate either heavier use or possibly an inaccurate mileage recording. The MOT tests in 2023 and 2024 also show a similar pattern of passing and failing, with no defects recorded during these tests. A potential buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension system, brake pads, and brake discs in person due to the recurring failure in the MOT tests. The alternation between passing and failing suggests that there may be unresolved mechanical issues that have not been consistently addressed. Additionally, the buyer should check for any signs of structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and underbody, as these areas can be prone to corrosion in older vehicles. The vehicle's history of failing and passing suggests that there may be intermittent problems that could be indicative of more serious underlying issues.
