2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · VE10 LGJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance history over the last five years. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 at 178,178 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent trend of clean passes across multiple inspections suggests the previous owners maintained the mechanical and structural integrity to a high standard, preventing minor wear issues from escalating into test failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old Passat, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 79,742 miles, showing a steady pattern of use rather than long periods of neglect or excessive strain. The intervals between tests remain regular, with annual jumps of roughly 19,000 to 20,000 miles in recent years, which indicates the car has been in regular use under predictable conditions. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, the high mileage of 178,000 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically check the suspension assembly for perished bushes or worn coil springs, as these components often reach the end of their life at this stage. The braking system should be examined for binding calipers or thin discs, which do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach critical safety limits. Given the age and distance, inspecting the chassis for structural corrosion on sills and mounting points is also essential to ensure the long-term viability of the vehicle.
