2017 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CX17 LVP

The 2017 Volkswagen Passat presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 82,494 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared the 4 July 2024 test at 74,563 miles and the 28 June 2023 test at 64,810 miles, both also with no advisories. The record shows two failed entries logged on the same dates as the passes in 2023 and 2024 at identical mileages, yet the failure notices list no defects; this points to administrative re-tests or data anomalies rather than mechanical faults, and the absence of recurring advisories confirms no worsening condition. The odometer trace shows 64,810 miles in June 2023, 74,563 miles in July 2024, and 82,494 miles in June 2025. That equates to roughly 9,750 and 7,930 miles per year across the two intervals, sitting close to the 9,166 annual average for a nine-year-old car. The sparse record with only three test years visible gives limited insight into earlier care, but the clean sheets across 2023 to 2025 suggest the previous keeper kept consumables and core systems within tolerance. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the supplied data. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as these items draw no comment in the MOT history yet degrade with age irrespective of test outcomes. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, though underside check for subframe rust remains prudent on a Passat of this era. Verify the twin 2023 and 2024 fail-pass pairs with DVSA to confirm they reflect re-test processing rather than omitted faults. Given the fault-free trail and typical mileage, the vehicle shows no red-flag pattern of skipped upkeep or escalating wear. Treat the clean MOT as a baseline, not a substitute for a independent mechanical appraisal before purchase.
