2008 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AD57 XMP

The 2008 Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 2 April 2026 at 116,534 miles. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or defects logged across the five recorded tests. The vehicle cleared its most recent examination with a clean sheet, indicating no outstanding mechanical or structural concerns at the time of testing. Mileage progression shows light annual use for an 18-year-old car. The record moved from 108,935 miles at the January 2024 test to 112,782 miles in January 2025, then to 116,534 miles by April 2026. That equates to roughly 3,800 miles per year over the final two years, below the 6,474-mile average implied by the total. The sparse history shows only five entries with no gaps exceeding twelve months, so the data gives a limited but consistent view of upkeep. Two failed tests on 31 March 2026 and 9 January 2025 were both followed one to three days later by passes at identical mileages with no defects recorded. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the initial attempts rather than mechanical faults, as the retests required no repairs. The owner addressed the failures without consumable replacement or workshop intervention. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age and the absence of advisory data in the record. The clean MOT history does not confirm the condition of these wear-prone components, only that the tester raised no flags on the dated examinations.
