2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AD09 YMO

The 2009 Volkswagen Passat presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 August 2025 at 171,880 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the vehicle clearing every test that proceeded to a full inspection and showing no escalating mechanical concerns. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,111 miles per year against the car's 17-year life, which is typical for this age of vehicle. The records show a clean and sparse pattern: 120,594 miles at the failed attempt on 14 August 2023, rising to 120,595 miles and a pass one day later, then 138,700 miles at the August 2024 tests, and 171,880 miles by August 2025. The jump of 33,180 miles between August 2024 and August 2025 is the largest single-year gain and reflects consistent use rather than long standing periods. The two failure entries on 14 August 2023 and 27 August 2024 carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in any entry, so the documented history gives no signal of worsening wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underside for structural rust and check the front suspension arms and rear brake calipers for binding, as high mileage Passats of this era commonly develop such faults outside the MOT threshold. Verify the tyre tread depth and wiper condition given the car's annual mileage, and confirm the 2025 pass reflects genuine roadworthiness rather than a lightly scrutinised test.
