2017 Volkswagen Passat 1.4L Petrol · CK67 UHB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding brake and tyre condition. While it passed the most recent test in November 2025 at 54,779 miles, the tester flagged thin front and rear brake pads along with pitted and scored rear brake discs. This represents a progression from the November 2023 test where only the front inner pads were noted, suggesting that the previous owner is delaying brake service until components reach failure limits rather than following intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its nine-year life. The record shows steady usage, with 7,481 miles driven between the November 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,356 miles between the 2023 and 2024 inspections. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to surface corrosion on metal components like brake discs if the car sits for long periods between trips. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the recurring reports of worn pads and scored discs indicate the hardware is nearing the end of its functional life. The tyre history also shows a pattern of neglect, with multiple entries for tyres worn to the legal limit or physically damaged across 2021, 2024, and 2025. The buyer should check for uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment or suspension issues and verify that the current tyres have sufficient tread beyond the advisories noted in previous tests.
