2007 Volkswagen EOS 2.0L Diesel · RK57 SWW

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend following a period of concern. The most recent test in November 2025 at 154,378 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows two years of clean passes in late 2023 and 2024, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining the required safety standards. At 154,378 miles over 19 years, the car has averaged approximately 8,125 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for its age. The mileage accumulation has become more consistent in recent years, with exactly 1,032 miles recorded between November 2024 and November 2025, and roughly 838 miles between December 2023 and November 2024. This steady interval suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which helps prevent the seal degradation often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking and suspension systems based on historical failures. The November 2022 test flagged a failure due to corroded rear coil springs and front tyres nearing the legal limit, while the subsequent failure in November 2023 revealed an imbalanced parking brake and poor rear brake efficiency. While these issues were rectified for later tests, an inspector should verify that the rear calipers are not binding and that the replacement coil springs show no signs of fresh structural rust or fatigue.
