2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CU65 TKX

The 2015 Volkswagen Passat demonstrates a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 31 July 2025 at 223,545 miles with zero defects recorded. This outcome indicates the vehicle currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness standards without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across the last five consecutive annual tests suggests diligent upkeep and an entirely absent pattern of recurring faults. The recorded mileage reveals a high but remarkably consistent annual accumulation. Between 3 August 2021 at 212,051 miles and 2 August 2024 at 220,460 miles, the Passat covered roughly 8,400 miles per year. The most recent twelve months saw a notable spike of 3,085 miles between the August 2024 and July 2025 tests, pushing the total to 223,545 miles. While this equates to an average of approximately 20,000 miles per year over the vehicle's eleven-year lifespan, the MOT intervals show no significant gaps in testing, confirming the car has remained in continuous active use rather than standing idle for extended periods. Despite the pristine MOT record, the high mileage demands a thorough physical inspection of typical wear components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as 223,545 miles will have subjected these parts to significant fatigue. Brake discs and pads require scrutiny for wear, and the exhaust system should be checked for corrosion or leaks that might not have been severe enough to fail the July 2025 test. Tyre condition and tread depth also warrant attention, as high-mileage vehicles often exhibit uneven wear from suspension geometry shifts. The MOT record proves the car was roadworthy a year ago, but the sheer distance covered necessitates verifying the current structural integrity and the remaining lifespan of all major consumables.
