2016 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF66 BSV

The 2016 Volkswagen Passat presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 13 February 2026 at 142,083 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no advisories or failures at any stage. Mileage stands at 142,083 against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 14,200 miles per year which is high for the model age and points to sustained motorway or business use rather than light commuting. The records show a gap between the December 2022 test at 88,817 miles and the May 2024 test at 120,784 miles, a 32,000-mile jump over seventeen months, then a tighter annual pattern through to 2026. No MOT data exists before late 2022, so early-life care remains undocumented. With four consecutive passes showing no advisories on brakes, suspension, exhaust, or corrosion, the tester raised no recurring mechanical or structural concerns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the high annual mileage, and confirm underbody structural integrity for rust given the vehicle's age. The clean record implies the previous keeper kept statutory maintenance current, but the sparse early history warrants a physical check of wear items the MOT may not capture.
