Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. While the
The primary concern with this vehicle is the recurring nature of its faults. You should verify whether the exhaust leaks recorded in 2023, 2024, and 2025 were permanently repaired or merely patched. Given the 2024 failure involved a wide array of components—including CV boots, suspension bushes, and multiple tyres—request detailed invoices to confirm these were replaced with quality parts.
As a 1984cc petrol model, this Passat will have higher fuel consumption and road tax costs than its diesel counterparts. Insurance groups for this model are generally moderate, but maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and the documented corrosion issues.
A thorough underbody inspection is essential. Specifically, check the rear sub-frame and brake pipes for corrosion, as these were flagged in 2024 and 2025. Inspect the offside front wing panel for rust and ensure the headlamp lenses are clear, following the defects noted in the 2024 MOT.
This blue 2007 Volkswagen Passat has recorded 102,121 miles, which is below the model average. The vehicle's MOT history is marked by recurring exhaust leaks from 2023 through 2025 and a substantial failure in September 2024 involving tyres, suspension, and drive shafts. Recent records also highlight ongoing corrosion issues with the rear sub-frame and body panels.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 80%, with headlamps, tyres, and drive shaft joints being the most frequent points of failure.
