2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AG09 XUX

The vehicle displays an exceptionally stable and clean maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 15 September 2025 at 140,204 miles resulting in a pass with zero defects. This clean bill of health has been consistent for the past four years, indicating that the vehicle has been subjected to diligent upkeep and proactive mechanical care. The single failure recorded on 19 September 2023 at 120,409 miles appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, as it was immediately rectified and passed on the same day without any recorded defects. Annual mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year over the last four years. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has been used for regular commuting or long-distance travel rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which often leads to seized calipers, perished rubber seals, or battery degradation. Given the vehicle is now 17 years old with a total of 140,204 miles, this usage rate is well within expected parameters for a diesel-engined Volkswagen of this era. While the MOT history is clean, a physical inspection must focus on components that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they are severely compromised. You should prioritize checking the condition of the suspension bushes and ball joints, as these high-wear items often exhibit play that may not be flagged until they reach a critical threshold. Inspect the sills and subframe mounting points for signs of structural corrosion, as these areas are prone to surface rust on Passats of this vintage. Finally, verify the operation of the electronic parking brake and ensure there is no evidence of oil leaks around the turbocharger or intercooler pipework, as these are common failure points that fall outside the scope of a standard MOT test.
