2014 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF64 HSN

The 2014 Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 143,013 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five-year MOT span from 28 July 2022 to the latest test, the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories or faults, indicating consistent upkeep by prior keepers. Mileage advanced from 124,551 at the 28 July 2022 test to 143,013 by 18 July 2025, an accumulation of 18,462 miles over three years or roughly 6,154 annually. This sits well below the 11,918 per-year average implied by the vehicle's age, suggesting lighter-than-typical use. The record shows a single anomalous failure on 17 July 2024 at 136,347 miles with no defects logged, immediately followed the same day by a pass at identical mileage, a clerical or process irregularity rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean history with zero advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside rust, flexible brake hoses, and exhaust emissions before purchase. The absence of flagged wear across 129,906 to 143,013 miles implies consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were renewed proactively, yet high-mileage Passat platforms commonly develop worn rear suspension arms and leaking dampers unseen in MOT checks. A pre-purchase examination should confirm the binding calipers and handbrake efficiency are sound, despite no tester noting them. The sparse but clean record reflects disciplined ownership, though the 2024 duplicate entry warrants a check of the V5C to confirm no suppressed defect history.
