2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · WF10 MFE

The 2021‑09‑28 MOT at 102,993 miles passed, but the tester flagged tyres worn to the legal limit on both front edges and a front brake disc that was worn, pitted or scored yet not seriously weakened. The record shows a consistent pattern of tyre edge wear and brake‑disc wear, with no new structural or mechanical defects emerging in the last four years. Maintenance appears stable, though consumables such as tyres, brake pads and the front wiper require timely replacement. From 2013 to 2021 the vehicle accumulated 77,351 miles, an average of roughly 9,700 miles per year. The mileage progression is steady, with no large gaps or sudden jumps that would suggest irregular use or neglect. The 2016 wiper failure and the 2018 rear tyre nail are isolated incidents, but overall the mileage history indicates regular, predictable usage for a 16‑year‑old car. A prospective buyer should examine the front and rear tyres for tread depth and edge wear, ensuring they are not below the legal limit. Inspect the front brake discs for pitting or scoring, and check the brake pads for wear. The front wiper assembly should be tested for clear, streak‑free visibility. Lighting should be verified: the rear indicator and position lamps on the near side, as well as the towbar socket, should be fully functional and free of melting or corrosion. The rear tyre should be inspected for any embedded nails or other foreign objects. Finally, while the MOT record shows no corrosion or structural defects, a visual check of the body and chassis for rust, especially around wheel arches and the bumper area, is advisable. The vehicle’s age and mileage are typical for its class, and with the identified consumables addressed, it should remain roadworthy.
