2015 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · GH15 AAU

This Volkswagen Passat has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across all five tests since 2022, with the most recent inspection on 29 October 2025—just under nine months ago. The absence of defects or advisories in any of these tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced any recurring mechanical failures that would warrant concern. However, the duplicate entry for September 2022—where the car was tested twice at the same mileage—raises a minor anomaly that should prompt verification of whether this was an administrative error or an intentional retest for a specific issue. Overall, the trend indicates stable roadworthiness, though the lack of advisories in recent tests means critical components like suspension bushes or coil springs have not been flagged for imminent failure. The recorded mileage of 106,840 miles at the last test reflects an average of approximately 9,700 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest prolonged neglect, nor are there abrupt jumps in mileage that would indicate excessive wear. The most recent MOT was conducted at 106,840 miles, meaning the car has since accumulated around 6,600 miles—roughly six months’ worth of typical usage. This places the vehicle comfortably within the 12-month MOT cycle, though buyers should confirm whether the current mileage aligns with the last test date to rule out odometer manipulation. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear components that are not routinely checked during an MOT. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for excessive play or corrosion, as these are not always tested thoroughly in a standard MOT. Brake discs and calipers, while not failed in past tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for signs of corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust system, as these areas are critical for structural integrity and often develop issues over time. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not preclude gradual deterioration, so thorough visual and functional checks are essential.
