2007 Volkswagen Passat 1.9L Diesel · AF57 HWE

The 2007 Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 15 September 2025 at 130,616 miles recording no defects. The test immediately prior on the same date at 130,615 miles failed with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year record from 2022 to 2025, every test passed without advisories, indicating no worsening pattern of wear or recurring defects. Annual mileage averaged roughly 6,875 miles against the vehicle's 19-year life, a typical use profile for this age of car. The records show steady accumulation: 108,153 miles in September 2022, 115,095 in September 2023, 122,690 in September 2024, and 130,616 by September 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet across all entries suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits, though the absence of advisories means worn components were either replaced early or remained just inside tolerance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's 130,000-mile age and the fact that MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm component life remaining. Corrosion on sills and subframes should be checked, as the Passat of this era is prone to structural rust that a pass does not rule out. The twin 15 September 2025 entries warrant confirmation that the failure was purely administrative and that no suppressed defect existed at 130,615 miles.
