2020 Volkswagen Passat 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · AJ69 CDZ

The Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 January 2026 at 60,245 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the four consecutive annual tests from 2023 to 2026 each returned a clean pass. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the history, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or recurring defect cycle. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a six-year-old car. The record shows 30,256 miles at the 20 January 2023 test, rising to 44,320 by 19 January 2024, then 51,589 on 14 January 2025, and 60,245 at the January 2026 test. Annual increments of roughly 8,000 to 14,000 miles reflect steady private or light fleet use rather than prolonged standing or high-stress driving. The clean sheet across all entries suggests previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion despite the absent advisories. MOT passes with no defects do not confirm component remaining life, only that items met the pass threshold on the test day. Given the age, check for early wear in the front wishbone bushes and any surface rust on structural members before purchase. The absence of failed tests or repeated tyre, brake, or emission faults implies disciplined ownership rather than deferred maintenance. Treat the clean record as a positive baseline, but verify actual tyre tread depth, caliper operation, and exhaust condition in person given the car is now past its manufacturer warranty period.
