2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF59 NKP

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the November 2025 test at 129,728 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every annual examination from October 2023 through November 2025 returning a clean result once the initial failure entries were resolved. The duplicated failure and pass entries on both 27 October 2023 and 7 November 2025 show administrative re-tests on the same day rather than mechanical rectification work, as no defects were listed on either attempt. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2009 Passat, averaging roughly 7,600 miles per year against the 129,728 miles recorded. The odometer moved from 112,747 miles at the October 2023 test to 122,531 miles in November 2024, then to 129,728 miles by November 2025. That equates to about 9,800 miles in year one and 7,200 in year two, a consistent and unremarkable accumulation with no sudden jumps or prolonged standing implied by the record. The DVSA data flags no advisories or defects across any test, so the history gives no direct evidence of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common Passat wear points at this age and mileage, particularly front coil springs, rear suspension arms, and subframe corrosion, none of which a zero-defect MOT automatically excludes. Given the same-day failure and pass pairs carried no recorded faults, previous owners likely used the MOT bay for re-issuance rather than repair. The clean sheet suggests reasonable basic upkeep, but the absence of advisories on a 17-year-old car warrants hands-on verification of tyres, brake caliper freedom, and underside condition before purchase.
