2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AD59 LJO

The Volkswagen Passat presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 14 June 2025 at 197,004 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the only blemishes being two failed tests on consecutive days in 2023 and 2024 that were cleared and passed without any listed defects. This pattern indicates administrative or minor pre-test issues rather than unresolved mechanical faults. At roughly 17 years old, the car shows 197,004 recorded miles, equating to about 11,588 miles per year which is typical for the model age. The record shows steady annual use: 167,448 miles in June 2023, 180,516 by May 2024, and 197,004 by June 2025. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear. The data is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories logged, so the clean sheets give limited insight into wear on consumables or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and underbody corrosion in person, as the MOT history records no advisories yet a Passat of this mileage often develops rust at sills and suspension mountings. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant a hands-on check despite the absence of flagged binding or wear. Given the two same-day fail-pass pairs in 2023 and 2024 with no defects cited, verify with the seller what triggered those entries. The previous owner likely addressed trivial items quickly, but physical examination of exhaust emissions and tyre condition remains prudent before purchase.
