2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF09 VXP

The 2009 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 2026-02-11 at 167,021 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. A prior failure on 2026-02-05 at 167,016 miles also showed no defects, suggesting a potential administrative or procedural error rather than a mechanical issue. The preceding tests from 2023 to 2025 consistently passed without recorded faults, indicating a maintained vehicle with no emerging critical concerns. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging 9,825 miles annually. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with the longest gap between 2023-01-19 (142,041 miles) and 2024-02-06 (151,487 miles), reflecting a 9,446-mile increase over 13 months. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 recorded steady annual mileage, with no abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity. The absence of corrosion, structural issues, or component failures in the history suggests consistent maintenance practices. While no specific mechanical faults are flagged, a buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, brake systems, and exhaust integrity, as these are common wear points for vehicles of this age. The lack of recorded defects in recent tests is positive, but physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues. The vehicle’s MOT history does not indicate recurring problems, but its high mileage warrants scrutiny of tyre tread, fluid levels, and electrical systems to ensure continued reliability.
