VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT SEL TSI EVO S-A2020 · 1.5L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent inspection history. The most recent MOT test conducted in February 2026 at 42,156 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2025, indicating that the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical or structural failures appearing on the record. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-used modern commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap between November 2023 and February 2024 where the car covered only five miles, suggesting a period of stationary storage or limited use during that window. However, the mileage has progressed steadily, covering over 11,500 miles in the last fourteen months. This low mileage for a six-year-old suggests light motorway or short-distance commuting, which typically reduces the accelerated wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings often seen in higher-mileage examples. While the recent records show no advisories, a buyer should still verify the physical condition of components that degrade with age rather than just distance. Low-mileage vehicles can suffer from perished rubber components or brake caliper corrosion if they sit for extended periods. Inspection should focus on checking for surface rust on brake discs and ensuring the integrity of the tyre sidewalls. The failure in November 2023 was resolved quickly with a pass just two weeks later, but the lack of specific defect data for that failure makes a manual physical look at the underbody and exhaust system necessary to ensure no minor issues remain unaddressed.
