2009 Volkswagen Passat 1.8L Petrol · AD59 VCF

The 2009 Volkswagen Passat presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 114,892 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable across the full five-year MOT span. No advisories or failures appear in any entry from 2022 through 2026, which indicates the vehicle has been kept to a roadworthy standard without recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged by testers. Annual mileage has stayed consistent with typical use for a 17-year-old car. The records show 93,122 miles in January 2022, rising to 98,932 in January 2023, 102,844 in January 2024, 108,325 in January 2025, and 114,892 in January 2026. That equates to roughly 5,700 to 6,600 miles added each year, below the 6,758 per-year average for its age. The data is sparse in detail, with no advisories logged, so we cannot track wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes from the certificate alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The absence of advisories does not rule out developing corrosion on subframes or suspension mounts, nor worn coil springs or tired dampers that a tester might judge within limits on the day. Given the car is now 17 years old, structural integrity around sills and suspension attachment points warrants close checks for rust. Verify the true condition of brake calipers, flexible hoses, and exhaust emissions during a pre-purchase examination. The low annual mileage suggests the Passat may have stood unused for periods, which can encourage seized linkages or flat-spotted tyres not captured by a clean MOT history.
