Strange. There should at least be the mount point even if the fs is missing.
Check the partitions on your local disks: maybe /var got unmounted somehow. If this is the case you could just recreate the mount point and mount it.
To check them list all partitions on your local disks and mount everything not already mounted elsewhere and being of linux fs partition type on a temporary directory.
I hope this helps.

PS: if you find your /var this way have a word with your colleagues: this has not happened all by itself.
