2017 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GT TDI BLUEMOTION TECH2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 78,344 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This long-term stability suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, as the tester failed to find any mechanical or structural failures across the last five inspections. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 34,046 miles and the December 2025 test at 78,344 miles, the car covered 44,298 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern. There are no signs of long periods of stagnation which often lead to seized calipers or perished rubber, nor is there a sudden spike in mileage that would suggest accelerated wear on the diesel engine's high-pressure system or drivetrain components. While the digital record shows a lack of recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to age-related perishation. At nearly 80,000 miles, the buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these often show wear before failing an MOT. Given the clean history, the brake discs are likely in good condition, but the tester should verify there is no uneven wear or binding calipers that have developed since the December test. The absence of any advisories in the recent records suggests a well-cared-for vehicle, but the MOT only covers safety-critical items. The buyer should still check for any early signs of structural corrosion on the underbody or exhaust mounting points which are not always flagged until they become significant. Overall, the data points to a mechanically sound that has followed a predictable maintenance schedule throughout its life.
