2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CU59 NXM

The 2009 Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 February 2025 at 188,219 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the supplied record, so the available evidence shows no worsening condition and no recurring defect pattern. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,072 miles, which is typical for a 17 year old car of this class. The records show 150,345 miles on 20 November 2021, then 172,644 miles at the 23 March 2023 pass, 180,712 miles on 4 March 2024, and 188,219 miles in February 2025. That equates to about 11,000 to 12,000 miles per year across the documented span. A gap exists between the November 2021 and March 2023 entries, and a failed test on 21 March 2023 at 172,583 miles preceded the pass two days later at 172,644 miles, though the failure listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The clean MOT history gives no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion items to chase up. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underside rust, and consumable wear such as tyres and wiper blades, since the DVSA test only captures snapshot condition on the day. Given the 188,219 mile accumulation, focus the viewing on drivetrain noise, gearbox operation, and turbo or DPF behaviour if diesel. The previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, but absence of advisories at this mileage does not rule out latent fatigue in high cycle components.
