2010 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · WR60 VMH

This 2010 Volkswagen Passat has a typical mileage profile for its age, suggesting consistent use rather than long periods of standing. However, the MOT history reveals a concerning trend of neglecting basic maintenance until the point of failure. The most recent MOT in December 2025 shows a failure due to a fractured offside front coil spring, alongside minor visibility and registration plate issues. This follows a pattern of recurring brake problems; in 2023 and 2024, the vehicle suffered from worn, pitted, and scored discs, as well as fluctuating service brakes. The overall condition trend is worsening. While the car has passed its most recent test, the shift from brake wear to structural suspension failure indicates that wear-and-tear components are reaching the end of their lifespan without proactive replacement. Given the high mileage and the evidence of reactive rather than preventative maintenance, a buyer should be cautious. The history suggests the vehicle is maintained to a minimum legal standard rather than a mechanical one. Prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension for further signs of fatigue and check the current condition of the brake discs and pads. Verify that the coil spring replacement was carried out professionally and check for any remaining vibrations or unevenness in the braking system.
