2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AD09 YUX

The Volkswagen Passat presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 20 January 2024 at 158,540 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the immediate prior day's failure on 19 January 2024 at 158,525 miles with no listed defects points to an administrative or unrecorded rectification rather than a clear mechanical fault. Without advisory notes across the supplied record, the history shows no worsening pattern of consumable or structural issues. Mileage data reveals an irregular accumulation pattern for a 17-year-old vehicle. The test on 23 July 2021 shows 230,863 miles, yet the 8 October 2022 test records only 145,769 miles, a drop of over 85,000 miles that indicates either a clerical error at one test or a replacement odometer cluster. From October 2022 to January 2024 the car covered just 12,771 miles, below the ~9,326 annual average, suggesting lighter recent use. The sparse record with clean passes gives little insight into wear cycles. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition given the age and high lifetime mileage. The absence of advisories does not preclude corrosion to structural members or exhausted dampers hidden between tests. Verify the odometer discrepancy against service invoices before purchase, as the conflicting figures undermine confidence in claimed care patterns from prior owners.
