The bottom of the dipstick seems to be short - not able to accurately assess the oil level. Is this just broken or could it be worn? If worn, what would be wearing it down?

My 99 passat has a plastic tip on the end , about 1 and 1/2 inches long. I doubt anything is wearing it down , thinking it might have broken off. Should be able to find one at an autowrecker for only a couple of bucks.
