 Volkswagen Passat - 06 1.8 Rear wheel bearing change. - FotheringtonTomas
I have looked at them. They are taper roller bearings. They are also most certainly worn - there are flakes of metal in the grease on the outside of the bearing cage (between the rollers) of both outer bearings, and pitting of both outer bearing surfaces.

There's nothing wrong with taper rollers. They are perfect for the job - although double-row ball bearings may be cheaper (no play in these, of course) and fitted in some cars.
