2016 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF66 YEE

The 2016 Volkswagen Passat presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 October 2025 at 152,652 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 9 October 2024 at 150,698 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards over the past three years. The recorded mileage of 152,652 miles against a ten-year lifespan equates to roughly 15,265 miles annually, which sits above the typical average for this model age and implies sustained motorway or commuter use. The records expose a pronounced accumulation gap: the 29 September 2022 test logged 107,437 miles, yet by 11 October 2023 the odometer read 142,445 miles, a 35,008-mile surge in thirteen months. From October 2023 to October 2025 the annual increase dropped back to approximately 5,100 miles per year. The sole blemish is a failed test on 8 October 2024 at 150,674 miles with no defects listed, corrected by a pass one day later at 150,698 miles, suggesting an administrative or minor presentational issue rather than mechanical neglect. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion entries, the MOT data alone reveals no structural or mechanical red flags. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the underbody for structural rust and verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades, as these are not always captured in a pass result. The high early mileage phase warrants scrutiny of drivetrain wear, though the clean recent record implies the previous owner addressed upkeep before disposal.
