2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · KP10 CCZ

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-18 recorded several minor defects, including worn front lower suspension arm pins, perished front console bushes, and corroded rear suspension arms. Both front and rear tyres showed signs of perishing or wear, with the nearside rear tyre approaching legal limits. These issues were consistent with earlier reports, indicating a pattern of gradual degradation in suspension components and tyre condition. Recurring defects since 2024 highlight corrosion on rear suspension arms, which has not yet reached critical levels. Tyre-related issues, such as cracking or near-limit wear, have also persisted. While no major safety risks were flagged in the 2025 test, the repetition of similar defects suggests ongoing wear in these areas. The 2023-12-19 failure for a non-functional reversing lamp was resolved by 2023-12-20, showing no further issues in that category. The vehicle’s mileage of 128,384 miles over 16 years equates to roughly 8,024 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests average usage rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity. However, the lack of significant defects in 2023-12-20 and 2023-01-05 indicates that the vehicle was in good condition prior to 2024, with issues emerging gradually.
