2014 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · YC64 WFG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of unauthorised due to a persistent structural failure in the rear lower suspension assembly. The most recent MOT test on 2025-08-30 at 143,360 miles was passed, but this is not a reliable indicator of overall condition. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and a fractured suspension arm on 2025-02-05, which occurred well before the current date, suggesting that previous owners may have been unable to maintain proper suspension alignment or that the system has degraded over time. The fact that the vehicle has been tested multiple times in 2025 indicates a lack of consistent maintenance, as a single failure in 2025 would typically result in a worsening trend rather than an improving one. The mileage profile reveals a significant gap between the vehicle's age and its recorded range. The 2014 Volkswagen Passat is approximately 11,947 miles per year, which is consistent with its age, but the data is sparse. The vehicle has only been tested in 2025, meaning no prior tests have been recorded. This lack of history means that any wear on the drivetrain or suspension components cannot be correlated with previous owners' usage patterns. The absence of a previous MOT suggests that the vehicle has been driven for a long period without any formal testing, which is a critical risk factor for the specific faults identified in the current record. Given the recurring structural issues flagged in the 2025-02-05 test, particularly the fractured suspension arm and the brake binding, the vehicle is currently unauthorised . The buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding brakes, suspension bushings, and structural integrity. A buyer should verify that the suspension components have been replaced correctly and that the brake discs are not corroded or seized. The vehicle's history shows a pattern of failure in the rear lower suspension, which is a serious structural risk that requires immediate professional assessment before the car can be legally registered.
