2012 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · RE62 ABO

The most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 at 137,354 miles recorded a pass, indicating the vehicle meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria at the time of testing. The record shows a consistent series of passes over the past three years, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern with no emerging defects. From its first registration in 2012 to the latest test in 2026 the car has accumulated 137,354 miles, averaging roughly 9,800 miles per year. This mileage is typical for a vehicle of its age and does not reveal any periods of accelerated wear or unusually low usage. The incremental increases between the 2023, 2024 and 2025 tests – 127,329 miles, 129,805 miles and 133,336 miles respectively – demonstrate a steady, moderate utilisation. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the suspension components, particularly the front and rear bushes and coil springs, as these parts are not directly inspected by the MOT but can develop wear with mileage. Checking the brake system – pads, discs and calipers – for any signs of uneven wear or binding will confirm the continued safety of the braking circuit. Inspecting tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as well as looking for surface rust or corrosion around wheel arches and undercarriage, will provide a complete picture of the vehicle’s current mechanical health.
