2020 Volkswagen Passat SEL TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · B1 LEK

The vehicle is in sound roadworthiness condition, with the most recent MOT passed on 9 December 2025 at 74,009 miles with no defects recorded. This follows two prior clean passes in 2024 and 2023, indicating a consistent and well-maintained service history with no recurring faults or advisories over the last three tests. The recorded mileage of 74,009 miles over six years equates to an average of 12,335 miles annually, which is above the typical UK usage rate. The jump from 51,853 miles in November 2023 to 70,492 miles by October 2024 represents 18,639 miles in just 11 months — a rate of over 20,000 miles per year — suggesting heavy use during that period. The subsequent 3,517-mile increase to the latest test shows a return to more typical annual usage, but the earlier spike raises questions about how the vehicle was operated and whether components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain were subjected to sustained stress. There are no recorded defects or advisories across the entire MOT history, which is encouraging and suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard. However, the absence of issues does not eliminate the need for physical inspection. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, given the high mileage and the earlier rapid accumulation. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links should be checked for wear or deterioration, particularly as the vehicle approaches 75,000 miles. The exhaust system and engine mounts are also worth verifying, as these are common wear items on high-mileage turbocharged petrol engines. While the records show no corrosion advisories, a thorough underbody inspection is still advised to rule out hidden rust around wheel arches, sills, or subframe mounts.
