2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · WP10 AEK

This Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 2 June 2025 at 131,744 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 16 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,234 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between May 2024 and June 2025, where the odometer rose from 118,423 to 131,744 miles. This jump of over 13,000 miles in a single year is significantly higher than the previous intervals, such as the 4,628 mile increase between May 2022 and May 2023. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A failure on 25 May 2023 was resolved the following day, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions over the last four years is atypical for a 2010 model. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as these often develop before becoming a formal failure. Given the recent increase in annual mileage, verify the current condition of the tyre treads and brake pad thickness to ensure these consumables were replaced during the recent high-use period.
