2020 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · DE20 AET

The 2025‑06‑27 MOT at 29,175 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the Passat meets the current roadworthiness standards and indicates a stable maintenance trend, as all previous tests from July 2023 through June 2025 also showed no defects. The mileage trajectory shows a modest annual average of roughly 4,862 miles, with the odometer rising from 17,814 miles in July 2023 to 23,109 miles a year later and then to 29,175 miles by June 2025, indicating steady use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that typically show wear in a vehicle of this age and mileage: suspension bushes and coil springs for play or corrosion, brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, the exhaust system for leaks or excessive noise, and the chassis for any signs of rust or structural damage, especially around the wheel arches and sills. Given the clean MOT history, the Passat appears to have been cared for, but a physical inspection of these key areas will verify that the recorded pass reflects genuine condition and that no hidden defects have developed since the last test.
