2006 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CX06 MUB

The 2006 Volkswagen Passat shows a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 24 May 2024 at 132,213 miles, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the supplied history. The most recent test carries a same-day failure logged at identical mileage with no defects recorded, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed without advisories on 23 June 2023 at 128,777 miles after a 19 June 2023 failure at 128,766 miles, again with no defects noted. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a twenty-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,600 miles per year. The record moves from 123,998 miles on 1 August 2022 to 128,766 miles by June 2023, then to 132,213 miles by May 2024. That equates to about 4,800 miles in the first interval and 3,400 in the second, showing light annual cover and no rapid accumulation. The sparse history with no advisories or defects across five entries suggests the vehicle was presented for test in sound condition, though the two zero-defect failures imply administrative rejections rather than owner-neglected repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the sills and subframes, as a Passat of this age and mileage commonly develops rust where salt exposure occurs. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant physical checks despite the absence of recorded advisories, since the MOT only captures faults present on the test day. Verify the 24 May 2024 failure reason with DVSA paperwork to confirm it was administrative and not a withdrawn test after a discovered defect.
