2008 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AC08 YPA

The 2008 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 16 June 2022 at 112,274 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior pass on 1 July 2021 at 110,523 miles. Over this two-year window the vehicle showed no advisories or failures, indicating consistent baseline condition across the recorded checks. The mileage pattern sits within typical bounds for an eighteen-year-old car. The records show just 1,751 miles added between July 2021 and June 2022, an annual rate far below the lifetime average of roughly 6,237 miles per year. Only two tests exist in the supplied history, so the dataset is sparse, but the clean results and low recent use suggest light motoring rather than neglected high-mileage wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as the MOT record does not capture hidden rust on sills or subframes. Given the age, examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation not yet flagged by testers. Verify the cambelt and water pump service history, since the Passat's interval falls due on time as well as mileage. The absence of advisories across both tests implies previous owners addressed consumables before each examination. Confirm actual tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions during a viewing, as these items wear between annual tests and the 2022 result is now over four years old relative to today's date.
