2007 Volkswagen Passat 1.9L Diesel · AD07 FDF

The 2007 Volkswagen Passat presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 1 November 2024 at 162,194 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the test history reveals a peculiar pattern of same-day fail-and-pass cycles that warrant scrutiny rather than reassurance. Recorded mileage sits at 162,194 miles against an approximate 19-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,537 miles per year which is typical for the vehicle's age. The DVSA data shows steady annual accumulation: 147,154 miles at the 1 November 2022 test, rising to 153,965 miles at the 30 October 2023 failure and 153,969 miles the next day on pass, then 162,192 miles at the 31 October 2024 failure and 162,194 miles on the 1 November pass. No gaps or rapid accumulation appear. The record is sparse and clean, with zero advisories or defects logged across all five entries. The repeated fail-then-pass sequence on 30 to 31 October 2023 and 31 October to 1 November 2024, both with no defects recorded, suggests administrative rejections or presentation errors rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust emissions given the car's age and 162,000-mile count. The absence of advisories across the record does not preclude corrosion or worn consumables developing below test thresholds.
