2007 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF07 OAX

The 2007 Volkswagen Passat presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 100,983 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the August 2024 and August 2023 tests also achieved passes with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has entered a clean inspection cycle over the last three years. The recorded mileage of 100,983 against a 19-year lifespan equates to a low average of roughly 5,315 miles per year. The records show steady annual use: 88,802 miles in August 2023, 95,989 by August 2024, and 100,983 by August 2025, a gain of about 7,200 miles across the period. The DVSA entries are sparse on fault detail, with the only blemishes being two immediate fails on 14 August 2023 and 27 August 2024 at identical mileages to the following passes, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects, as no defects were logged on either failure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points given the vehicle's age, focusing on subframe mounts, suspension bushes, and brake disc condition where standing periods may have promoted surface rust. The clean advisory history offers no flagged wear on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades, yet low annual mileage can mask degraded rubber components and seized calipers from inactivity. Given the absence of recorded advisories across three successive passes, previous keepers appear to have maintained the Passat to a standard sufficient for MoT compliance. Verify service history independently, as the test record alone confirms roadworthiness but not proactive mechanical care beyond statutory requirements.
