About the Volkswagen Eos
The Volkswagen Eos has been tested 24,894 times in 2026 MOT data across 10 model years (2006 to 2015), with an average pass rate of 80%. That's close to the national average of 82%. Available as petrol and diesel.
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.
Estimated Running Costs
Based on 7,400 miles/year, current fuel prices, and MOT pass rate data. Insurance not included.
