2007 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CV57 CPU

The 2007 Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 147,341 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the previous four years. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a nineteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,755 miles per year against the 147,341 miles recorded. The records show steady use rather than neglect or standing. A notable step occurs between the 1 November 2021 test at 124,395 miles and the 27 October 2022 test at 140,895 miles, where the odometer advanced 16,500 miles in one year, well above the norm, before settling back to around 2,000 to 2,500 miles annually through to 2025. The DVSA history itself is sparse on faults, with no advisories or failures listed across any entry. Given the clean sheet, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable and structural items that MOT testers may pass at marginal condition. At this age and mileage, front suspension arms and bushes, rear coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion around sills and subframes warrant close examination. The absence of recorded advisories does not confirm component life remaining, only that items met the pass threshold on the day. The prior owner appears to have kept the car to a basic statutory test standard with no flagged neglect such as repeated tyre or lighting failures. A pre-purchase check of service history and a road test for drivetrain noise remain sensible given the 2021 to 2022 high-use period.
