VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT2015 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in September 2025 at 63,611 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though it indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive preventative care. While the 2025 test showed no failures, the presence of an advisory for a worn offside front tyre suggests that components are only being addressed once they approach legal limits or failure points. The mileage profile is low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,783 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 12,318 miles put down between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 13,668 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but it can sometimes lead to component degradation or corrosion if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry, following the failure in 2023 at 37,625 miles regarding a fractured nearside rear coil spring. The advisory for thin rear brake pads in 2024 at 49,943 miles indicates that the braking system requires regular monitoring. Furthermore, the uneven wear noted on the offside front tyre in the 2025 test suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a physical inspection to prevent premature tyre replacement.
