2006 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CV56 OAM

The 2006 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent test. The December 2022 examination at 153,074 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from January 2022 at 147,763 miles. The maintenance history shows no advisories or failures across both available entries, indicating the vehicle met minimum statutory standards at those points. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 20-year-old car. The records show 5,311 miles covered between January and December 2022, equating to roughly 7,654 miles per year across its life. The supplied history is sparse, with only two tests on file, so no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing can be confirmed beyond this narrow window. A three-year gap now exists between the last test and today's date of 8 July 2026. A buyer should not treat the clean MOT record as proof of current condition. With no advisories logged, the tester raised no concerns on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at the time. However, the absence of flagged wear offers no insight into components now aged well beyond the test dates. Given the elapsed time and 153,074 miles on the clock, a physical inspection must cover subframe rust, coil spring fatigue, and binding calipers. Tyres and wiper blades will almost certainly need renewal as consumables. The previous owner kept the car to test standard in 2022, but the record implies no recent mechanical investment.
