2014 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · BD14 UWH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent MOT test in January 2026 at 117,654 miles. Following an initial failure in early 2023, the car has undergone three consecutive inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. This trend suggests that the current owner addressed the initial faults and since maintained the vehicle to a consistent passing standard over the last three years. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 90,684 miles and the January 2026 test at 117,654 miles, the car covered 26,970 miles, indicating a slight increase in usage compared to previous years. The regularity of the annual tests suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than left stationary, which often helps prevent the seal failures and components-related issues associated with long periods of inactivity. While the recent history is clean, a buyer must still perform a physical inspection of high-wear components typical of the 117,000-mile mark. At this distance, suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs often show signs of fatigue or tearing that an MOT tester might not flag until they fail. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear and check the structural integrity of the sills and mounting pans to ensure no significant corrosion has developed despite the clean test record.
