VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT2017 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 7 April 2026 at 96,442 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a single minor failure in April 2025 which was immediately rectified, as the re-test achieved a clean pass. This reactive maintenance indicates that any identified issues are addressed promptly, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a functional standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,716 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 76,466 miles and August 2024 at 84,433 miles, the car covered roughly 8,000 miles, showing steady usage. The more recent interval of 12,028 miles between April 2025 and April 2026 reflects a higher level of activity, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components to prevent the corrosion or seizing associated with long periods of inactivity. Given the clean nature of recent records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on standard wear items typical for a Passat of this age. While the MOT history does not major structural corrosion, the high mileage suggests that the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of fatigue or tearing. The braking system should be evaluated for uneven wear on discs or binding calipers, as the history does not detail the specific condition of these components beyond basic passing criteria.
