2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · AK09 KVL

The 2009 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 13 September 2025 at 193,933 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in August 2024 at 172,663 miles and August 2023 at 158,076 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance record shows no worsening faults and no outstanding advisories across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,400 miles per year. The odometer moved from 151,441 miles at the August 2022 test to 158,076 miles in August 2023, then to 172,663 miles in August 2024, and 193,933 miles by September 2025. The 21,270-mile jump between August 2024 and September 2025 is the largest single interval, though still consistent with normal use rather than exceptional wear. The DVSA record is sparse, with only five entries and a single failed test on 22 August 2023 that was immediately retested and passed the same day with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or minor pre-check issue rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high overall mileage and age. The clean MOT history means no corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or binding calipers were flagged by testers, but the absence of advisories at this mileage is unusual and may reflect test tolerance rather than component condition. Verify the bodywork and subframe for structural rust during a physical viewing, and confirm service records away from the MOT dataset. The same-day fail and pass in August 2023 warrants a check of the failure reason in the full DVSA certificate, though no defects appear in the supplied summary.
