2012 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · VW02 BAZ

The 2025‑10‑22 MOT at 181,085 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. Since the 2021‑09‑30 test at 161,296 miles, each annual test has produced the same clean outcome, showing no deterioration in mechanical condition. The vehicle’s mileage has risen by roughly 5,000 miles per year over the past four years, moving from 166,946 miles in 2022 to 181,085 miles in 2025, which aligns with its 14‑year age and suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. No significant gaps appear in the annual testing schedule, and the consistent increase points to steady operation. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the rear and front brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and look for structural rust in the wheel arches, sills and underbody, as these components commonly show signs of age at this mileage. Given the absence of recorded defects, the car appears well‑maintained, but a thorough visual and functional check of the braking system, suspension geometry and chassis integrity remains essential before purchase.
