2017 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF67 FLR

The 2017 Volkswagen Passat presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 99,339 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable across the full history. Every annual examination from 2022 through 2026 returned a pass with no advisories, indicating the previous keeper addressed wear before each test and kept the vehicle to a consistent standard. Mileage rose from 54,489 at the 4 February 2022 test to 99,339 by January 2026, an average of roughly 11,200 miles per year. That tracks the expected norm for a nine-year-old fleet-type saloon. The 2022 to 2023 jump added 7,214 miles, then yearly gains held near 12,000. No standing gaps or sudden accumulation show in the record. The sparse but unbroken clean sheet means the DVSA data alone gives no warning of hidden neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the fault-free ledger. The Passat's MacPherson front and multi-link rear suspension can develop worn bushes or tired coil springs by this mileage, and the tester logged none only because nothing breached limits on the day. Brake discs and calipers deserve measurement for lip wear and binding, as annual passes do not capture gradual thinning between tests. Check underside structure for corrosion at sills and subframe mounts, since the record cites no rust but a 99k-mile VW of this era sees winter salt attack. Verify service history covers timing belt and DSG fluid if fitted, as MOT data stays silent on internals. The documented care is sound; confirm it continues before purchase.
