2017 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT2.0L Diesel

The 2017 Volkswagen Passat presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 169,094 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable across the full five-year MOT span. Every annual examination from 20 September 2021 through to the latest check returned a pass with no advisories or faults raised by the tester. Mileage sits high for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows 119,934 miles in September 2021, rising to 126,704 by August 2022, 135,970 in September 2023, 148,905 in September 2024, and 169,094 in September 2025. That equates to an average annual accumulation near 18,800 miles, with no gaps or sudden jumps between tests. The consistent yearly increments imply steady motorway or business use rather than neglect or long standing periods, though the sparse single-entry-per-year data limits insight into interim consumable condition. No advisories appear for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any point. The absence of flagged wear suggests previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard, but a clean sheet at this mileage does not confirm component health beneath the surface. A buyer should physically inspect front and rear suspension arms for perished bushes, measure brake disc thickness and check for lip wear, and examine subframe and sills for hidden rust. Given the high annual mileage, in-person checks should prioritise drivetrain oil condition, turbo and DSG behaviour if fitted, and tyre sidewall cracking from sustained road use. The MOT history shows no recurring faults, yet the 169,094-mile figure demands verification of service records absent from this dataset.
