2017 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · SJ67 AAX

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 11 October 2025 at 135,660 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of clean passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, though there was a notable increase between October 2024 and October 2025, where the odometer rose by 13,905 miles. This suggests the car has spent significant time on long-distance motorway journeys, which typically puts less strain on the engine and drivetrain than frequent short-trip urban driving. Despite the flawless MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a targeted physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the depth of the tyre treads, since these consumables are not always flagged until they reach the legal limit. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for fatigue, as the total mileage puts the vehicle in a bracket where rubber components often perish. The absence of any recorded corrosion or structural failures over five years is a positive indicator of the chassis integrity. However, given the mileage, a manual check of the oil leaks around the engine bay and the condition of the exhaust system is advised to ensure no new issues have developed since the last test.
