2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF65 MJU

The 2015 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 29 August 2025 at 150,226 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a fail on 21 September 2022 at 111,999 miles, reversed two days later on 23 September 2022 at 112,043 miles with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage stands at 150,226 over roughly eleven years, averaging 13,657 miles per year, which is high for the model age and points to sustained motorway or commuter use. The record shows steady annual accumulation: 111,999 to 125,533 by August 2023, then 138,885 by September 2024, and 150,226 by August 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean advisories across all passes suggest the previous owner kept consumables and structural items within tolerance, though high mileage means unseen wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs is probable. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the front and rear suspension arms, subframe corrosion, and exhaust emissions ahead of purchase. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the car from age-related degradation at this mileage. Check the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and underbody for structural integrity given the 2015 build date. Given the consistent pass record and only a spurious 2022 fail, the vehicle shows no worsening mechanical trend. Verify service history to confirm drivetrain intervals were met at 150k miles before committing.
