2014 Volkswagen Passat 1.4L Petrol · MX64 TLF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 22, 2026, 62,978 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of recent instability regarding safety-critical consumables after a failure just one day prior at 62,971 miles due to both nearside and offside rear tyres having exposed ply or cords. While the issue was rectified immediately to secure a pass, the failure indicates a lapse in performing pre-test checks on tyre condition prior to the MOT appointment. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,248 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-frequency usage patterns, with a gap of 5,967 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests and a similar interval recorded in the preceding years. This low annual mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though low-mileage cars are often prone to fluid degradation and way rubber seals if the vehicle has frequently sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension, as the May 2025 test at 52,848 miles flagged thin rear enough pads and an offside front tyre worn to the edge. The uneven wear on the front tyre suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require professional verification. Given the recent failure for exposed cords on the rear tyres, the remaining life on all tyres should be checked for sidewall artwork and consistent depth to ensure the recent replacements were not merely temporary fixes.
