2010 Volkswagen Passat GT CC TDI 140 2.0L Heavy oil · NV10 BLN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT on 4 June 2026 at 192,231 miles. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history shows a pattern of intermittent failures that required rectification to achieve a pass. Specifically, the car failed in May 2026 at 191,790 miles and again in March 2025 at 179,419 miles. These failures, though the specific defects were not listed in the summary, suggest the vehicle occasionally falls short of minimum standards during its annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a high-use vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. The record shows steady progression from 93,408 miles in September 2017 to the current 192,231 miles. A notable period of usage occurred between October 2019 and November 2021, where the mileage rose from 131,621 to 155,230. The current mileage level indicates significant wear on mechanical components, particularly the drivetrain and suspension systems, which is expected for a diesel engine of this age and distance. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underside to check for structural corrosion and exhaust degradation. Given the high mileage and the history of failures, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers require close scrutiny for signs of play or leakage. The braking system also warrants attention; the buyer should check for uneven pad wear or binding calipers that might have contributed to previous failures. The recent failures at 179,419 and 191,790 miles suggest that the vehicle may require more frequent maintenance of consumable items to maintain compliance. While the most recent pass is clean, the high mileage means that components like the timing belt, water pump, and turbocharger health should be verified through service records rather than MOT data alone. Focus on checking for any signs of oil leaks or fluid loss that could impact long-term reliability.
