VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT2014 · 1.6L Diesel

This Volkswagen Passat demonstrates a stable and clean roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 29 July 2025 at 119,907 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests dating back to August 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids common age-related failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between August 2023 and July 2025, the odometer increased from 108,237 to 119,907 miles, representing a steady average of roughly 5,800 miles per year over the last two years. This suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. The absence of advisories across the last three tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishment, as these often wear without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Checking for underside corrosion and verifying the condition of the brake discs and pads is advisable to ensure the lack of recorded defects reflects actual maintenance rather than a lenient testing process. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day in August 2024 and July 2025. Since no specific defects were listed for these failures, they likely relate to minor administrative errors or immediate on-site rectifications of consumable items. There are no recurring mechanical trends or structural risks evident in the DVSA data.
