2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CU15 VRE

The 2015 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 1 May 2025 at 51,238 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and prior examinations in 2023 and 2022 also passed cleanly. The upkeep pattern indicates consistent mechanical condition with no escalating faults across the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 51,238 against an eleven-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,658 miles per year. The car covered 4,492 miles between the March 2022 test at 34,881 miles and the March 2023 test at 39,943 miles, then 4,492 miles again to the April 2024 figure of 44,435 miles, and 6,803 miles to the May 2025 reading. This low annual use suggests extended standing periods, which can accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion despite light drivetrain wear. The MOT history is sparse on advisories, with only a failed entry on 12 April 2024 at 44,435 miles showing no recorded defects before a pass three days later on 15 April 2024, implying an administrative or unlogged rectification rather than a mechanical decline. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Standing time raises the risk of seized calipers and underbody corrosion unseen in the clean test records. Verify the April 2024 failure cause with the testing station, as the absence of listed defects leaves the reason unconfirmed.
