Best and Worst Years

The 2014 model is the most reliable with a 87% pass rate from 664 tests. The 2007 model has the lowest at 75%. The 12 point spread between years means reliability varies somewhat, but no year is dramatically different.

Reliability Trend

Newer VOLKSWAGEN EOSs show better MOT pass rates than older ones, with an average improvement of 7 percentage points.

Mileage Across Years

The oldest model in our data (2006) averages 100,018 miles, while the newest (2015) averages 72,701 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.

Compared to the Volkswagen brand average of 85%, the Eos is 5 points lower, placing it among the less reliable Volkswagen models.
