2005 Volkswagen Passat Trendline TDI 100 1.9L Diesel · AF05 WCW

The 2005 Volkswagen Passat Trendline TDI 100 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its four most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 2 May 2025 at 177,714 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle held full test compliance within roughly fourteen months of the current date. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical use for a 21-year-old car. The record shows 160,854 miles on 31 March 2022, rising to 165,990 miles by 3 April 2023, 172,009 miles on 3 May 2024, and 177,714 miles at the final test. That equates to roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles per year between entries, below the 8,463-mile lifetime average, indicating light recent use rather than neglected storage. The DVSA data is sparse in detail, with no advisories or failures logged at any point in this sequence. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and 177,714-mile accumulation. The clean MOT history does not mean wear is absent; testers often pass cars with early-stage deterioration not yet reportable as defects. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be physically checked for binding or leakage, and the timing belt interval verified against Volkswagen's service schedule. The absence of recorded faults suggests prior owners maintained basic test standards, but no evidence exists that major consumables received proactive renewal beyond statutory requirements.
