2017 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AF67 FSL

The 2017 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness status with no active defects. The most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 52,348 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories. Across the full recorded history from 2023 to 2026, the vehicle shows a consistent pattern of passes and no recurring mechanical faults, indicating the maintenance trend is steady rather than worsening. The mileage record shows light use for a nine-year-old car. It covered 34,459 miles by 16 January 2023, then 42,779 miles at the January 2024 tests, 48,780 miles on 21 January 2025, and 52,348 miles in January 2026. That averages roughly 5,800 miles per year with no sudden accumulation spikes. The clean record across all entries is sparse on detail but suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion despite the absence of flagged advisories. The January 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass on the same day at 42,779 miles with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, but warrants confirmation of the V5C and test certificate. Given the low annual mileage and standing periods implied by the usage pattern, check for perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and binding calipers from disuse. The DVSA data alone gives no evidence of serious structural or drivetrain risk, yet only an in-person examination will confirm the car matches its clean MOT profile.
