2007 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CX57 EXW

The Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 109,887 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes between May 2022 and May 2025 and a single failure on 7 May 2025 at 109,881 miles that carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded rectification rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories appear on any test, indicating no flagged wear to suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion during this period. The odometer shows light use for a 2007 vehicle. From the 4 May 2022 test at 103,360 miles to the 2 May 2024 test at 107,368 miles, the car covered only 4,008 miles across two years. Annual accumulation stayed low, roughly 2,000 to 2,500 miles per year, well under the 5,784-mile average implied by age. The record is sparse and clean, with no gaps exceeding twelve months and no rapid accumulation that would point to heavy drivetrain or consumable stress. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT entries list no advisories but a 19-year-old VW of this era is prone to subframe and sill rust unseen in a pass test. The suspension and braking components passed without comment, yet low annual mileage often masks perished rubber bushes or binding calipers from prolonged standing. Verify the 7 May 2025 failure cause with the testing station, since DVSA shows no defects logged on that certificate. Pre-purchase checks should include tyre sidewall condition, brake fluid age, and cam belt history, none of which the MOT captures. The clean advisory sheet implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but absence of data is not proof of component health at 109,887 miles.
