2007 Volkswagen Passat 1.9L Diesel · AF57 JWP

The 2007 Volkswagen Passat shows a current roadworthiness pass as of 8 June 2024 at 170,015 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing broadly stable across the recorded history. The most recent test passed with no defects logged, though this followed two failed attempts on 6 June 2024 at 170,007 miles and 5 May 2024 at 169,917 miles where the DVSA record lists no defects recorded. Such fail-with-no-defect entries usually point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and no worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the data. Mileage stands at 170,015 against a 19-year life, averaging roughly 8,948 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the 10 February 2023 pass at 165,740 miles and the 5 May 2024 fail at 169,917 miles covers just over 4,000 miles in fifteen months, indicating light recent use. From February 2023 to June 2024 the car added about 4,300 miles, a low accumulation that suggests shorter local journeys rather than sustained motorway running. The official record flags no advisories or defects across any test, so no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or emissions concerns are documented. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and consumable wear such as tyres and wiper blades given the vehicle's age and 170,000-mile distance. The repeated 2024 failures with no recorded defects warrant a check of the DVSA failure reasons with the selling garage to confirm no omitted mechanical items.
