2017 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AE67 WUP

The 2017 Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 August 2025 at 60,150 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle entered its ninth year in sound mechanical condition. Prior annual tests show the same clean outcome, indicating no escalating faults across the recorded history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,683 miles per year. The record charts 37,968 miles at the 26 August 2022 test, 44,842 miles on 17 August 2023, 52,086 miles on 23 August 2024, and 60,150 miles by August 2025. The annual increments of seven to eight thousand miles reflect consistent private or light-use motoring rather than standing periods or high-stress driving. The sparse, defect-free history gives little cause for concern on consumable wear patterns. One anomaly requires the buyer's attention. On 23 August 2024 the Passat failed the initial test at 52,086 miles yet passed on the same date with no defects listed. This suggests an administrative or presentational error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault, but the buyer should obtain the full VOSA failure reason from the DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed advisory existed. In person, the buyer should still verify suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion given the car is now nine years old. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet no test replaces a physical inspection of structural integrity and exhaust emissions at this mileage.
