2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CV59 WJF

The 2009 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 163,057 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults and points to consistent, basic upkeep by prior keepers. Annual mileage has tracked close to the typical expectation for a 17-year-old car. The record shows 139,764 miles in January 2022, rising to 144,483 in January 2023, 150,982 in January 2024, 157,916 in January 2025, and 163,057 in January 2026. That equates to roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles per year across the documented period, well below the 9,592-mile annual average and indicating light use. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the chain of tests. The absence of any advisories across all five entries means the tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or failing emissions during those inspections. A clean sheet at this age is uncommon and suggests the previous owners addressed issues before each test rather than letting them reach advisory status. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. High-mileage Passats of this era are prone to rear subframe corrosion and degraded coil springs not always visible at an MOT ramp. Check brake disc thickness, tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear, and confirm service history matches the low annual use. The MOT alone cannot confirm drivetrain condition at 163,057 miles.
