2018 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · N50 KDE

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with all five MOT tests passing without defects. The most recent 2025-12-04 inspection at 53,076 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with the prior 2025-04-28 test at 48,762 miles. No recurring faults or structural concerns were flagged across the 2022–2025 period, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-maintained, with no significant mechanical or safety risks identified in the official records. The mileage progression shows a steady annual average of ~6,634 miles, consistent with typical usage for an 8-year-old vehicle. A notable gap exists between the 2022-04-26 test (27,547 miles) and the 2023-05-03 test (34,168 miles), spanning 13 months, but this does not correlate with any defects in subsequent checks. The 2024-04-29 test at 42,268 miles and 2023-05-03 test at 34,168 miles reveal no irregularities, reinforcing the reliability of the maintenance pattern. The data lacks anomalies, suggesting the vehicle has not experienced excessive wear or neglect. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. Brake discs and calipers should also be inspected for wear, as minor issues may not trigger immediate advisories. While no corrosion or structural faults are recorded, a physical check of the underbody and chassis is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden damage. The MOT history provides no cause for concern, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains essential to validate the vehicle’s ongoing roadworthiness.
