2015 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · CV65 FWS

The Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 28 November 2025 at 120,434 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes from November 2022 through to November 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed entry on 28 November 2025 at identical mileage sits alongside the same-day pass, with no defects listed on either, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical concern. Annual mileage averages 10,949 across the car's roughly eleven-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show steady accumulation: 82,409 miles in November 2022, 95,131 in November 2023, 108,862 in November 2024, and 120,434 in November 2025. That equates to around 12,000 to 13,000 miles per year between tests, with no sudden jumps or dormant periods suggesting neglect or excessive commercial use. The clean sheet at every examination points to consistent basic upkeep by prior keepers. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of those consumable and structural items. The MOT only captures condition at the test date and does not reveal wear developing since November 2025. Particular attention should go to underbody rust, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions ahead of the next test due in late 2026. The same-day fail and pass with zero defects implies a paperwork or equipment issue at the testing station rather than a fault on the vehicle. No recurring problems emerge from the data to suggest worsening mechanical risk. The Passat's history supports a fair-confidence purchase subject to standard pre-sale checks.
