2006 Volkswagen Passat 1.9L Diesel · AD06 KNC

The 2006 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 6 March 2024 at 173,193 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 13 August 2022 at 150,242 miles also passed clean. The maintenance history shows no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures across the available record. The odometer sat at 150,242 miles in August 2022 and rose to 173,193 miles by March 2024. That 22,951-mile gain over roughly nineteen months equates to about 14,500 miles per year, above the lifetime average of 8,660 miles per year. The two-entry record is sparse, yet both tests are clean with no flagged corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions issues. A near twenty-month gap between tests leaves mechanical condition between those dates unverified by DVSA data. Given the clean test outcomes, no recurring consumable or structural defects appear in the official history. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity for corrosion, as a Passat of this age and mileage commonly develops such wear unseen by the MOT lane. The elevated recent annual mileage implies regular motorway or commuter use, which favours engine longevity but accelerates drivetrain and suspension loading. Verify service records independently, since the MOT alone confirms roadworthiness at test dates and not ongoing maintenance discipline.
