2007 Volkswagen Passat Sport TDI 2.0L Diesel · WKZ 6948

The 1968cc diesel engine is known for efficiency, though fuel economy may have decreased given the vehicle's age and high mileage. Road tax will be based on 2007 diesel emissions brackets, and insurance costs will reflect a mid-sized family saloon.

Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this model. At over 200,000 miles, the likelihood of suspension wear, gasket leaks, and sensor failures increases, meaning a higher annual budget should be allocated for repairs.

Inspect the vehicle for signs of wear consistent with 206,062 miles, particularly focusing on suspension bushings and steering play. Although the provided data does not list the specific reasons for the failures in November 2021 and December 2022, these indicate recurring issues that should be cross-referenced with the full MOT certificates.

Check for common TDI issues such as EGR valve carbon buildup and oil leaks around the engine block. Ensure the silver paintwork is checked for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, which can be a weak point for vehicles of this era.
