2016 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · OY66 AKO

The 2016 Volkswagen Passat presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 18 February 2026 at 86,438 miles which recorded no defects. Every annual test from 2022 through 2026 passed without advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle has been consistently presented in a condition meeting DVLA roadworthiness standards across its recorded life. The mileage pattern aligns with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 36,734 miles at the 16 February 2022 test, rising to 49,873 miles by 22 February 2023, 61,884 miles in February 2024, 74,472 miles in February 2025, and 86,438 miles in February 2026. This equates to a steady annual accumulation of roughly 12,000 miles per year between tests, with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods suggesting neglect through standing. The absence of any flagged items across five consecutive tests implies the previous keeper maintained basic servicing discipline. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The official record captures only test-day condition and does not reveal latent corrosion in structural members, degraded suspension bushes, or worn brake discs that fall within tolerance at testing but approach replacement. Given the Passat has now exceeded 86,000 miles, scrutiny of the timing belt interval, coil springs, and underbody structural integrity remains prudent. The clean advisory history offers no recurring fault trend to track, yet a fault-free MOT sequence at this mileage should not be read as a guarantee of component life remaining. Verify service invoices against the recorded mileages and confirm tyre, exhaust, and emissions hardware match the tested specification before purchase.
