2007 Volkswagen Passat 1.9L Diesel · KR56 AEK

This Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 104,532 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean certificates dating back to December 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 19 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,502 miles per year. The data shows very little usage in recent years, with only 2,760 miles added between the December 2022 test at 101,772 miles and the August 2025 test at 104,532 miles. Such low annual mileage often indicates a vehicle used for short trips or one that has spent significant periods stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. While the MOT history is clean, vehicles that sit idle are prone to seizing brake calipers, perishing rubber suspension bushes, and battery degradation. Check for signs of corrosion on the sills and chassis, as the record does not explicitly detail the underside condition beyond the pass result. Verify the condition of the tyres and fluids. Low mileage can mask aged rubber that has hardened or cracked over time. Ensure the engine oil and coolant have been changed according to time intervals rather than just mileage, as the lack of frequent use can lead to moisture buildup and internal sludge.
