2013 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 24 April 2025 at 148,848 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements, preventing the accumulation of faults typically seen on German cars of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,450 miles per annum. Between April 2022 at 126,056 miles and April 2025 at 148,848 miles, the car covered 22,792 miles, maintaining a steady rate of roughly 7,600 miles per year. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than suffering long periods of standing, which often leads to dry dry seals, perished rubber, and seized brake components. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components associated with the 150,000-mile mark. Particular attention should be paid to the front suspension bushes and control arms, as these often show degradation on Passats at this mileage. The buyer should also inspect the underside for any surface corrosion on the sills and exhaust system, as the MOT only identifies structural rust once it reaches a specific threshold of decay.
