2013 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF13 WSL

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The June 2025 test at 128,303 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a failed test on 18 June 2025 at 128,230 miles, though the specific reason for that failure was not documented in the summary. The absence of recurring advisories across the last three years suggests that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum legal standards without persistent issues. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,869 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 112,713 miles in June 2023 to 128,303 miles in June 2025. This incremental growth indicates regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps prevent seized components or perished rubber seals. The data is remarkably clean, showing no significant jumps in mileage that would suggest odometer tampering or heavy commercial use. While the MOT history shows no structural or mechanical failures, the repeated failure-to-pass pattern in June 2024 and June 2025 warrants closer scrutiny. Since the records do not specify the nature of these failures, a physical inspection is necessary to rule out recurring issues with consumables. You should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Given the mileage, the condition of the brake discs and the presence of any binding calipers should also be verified. The lack of advisories regarding corrosion or emissions is a positive indicator for a diesel or petrol engine of this age. However, a buyer should still inspect the underside for structural rust and check the integrity of the exhaust system. Because the MOT record is so sparse on technical detail regarding the failures, a thorough check of the tyre tread depth and the condition of the wiper blades is advised to ensure the vehicle has received basic upkeep beyond the bare minimum required for a pass.
