2010 Volkswagen Eos: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 64% pass first time (all 2010 cars: 60%) Stands out: suspension arm 3.6×, shock absorbers 1.9×, ball joint dust cover 2.7× 2,145 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 63% pass first time (all 2010 cars: 60%) Stands out: suspension arm 3.6×, suspension arm bushes and joints 1.6×, ball joint dust cover 2.4× 3,659 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
