2018 Volkswagen Passat 1.4L Petrol · CY18 CZH

The 2018 Volkswagen Passat presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 March 2026 at 25,938 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since 2022. The vehicle shows no advisories or failures across the entire five-year MOT history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards. Annual mileage averages just 3,242 across the car's eight years, confirming very light use for its age. The records show steady, low accumulation: 7,008 miles in June 2022, 9,848 by June 2023, 15,256 at the March 2024 test, 19,588 by March 2025, and 25,938 by March 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear; the owner simply covered roughly 4,000 to 6,000 miles each year. Such low figures suggest the car spent extended periods stationary between short journeys. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories means the tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structural members, binding calipers, or failing emissions at any stage. The absence of brake disc or tyre warnings points to careful upkeep rather than deferred consumable replacement. Buyers should still verify in person that long idle periods have not caused flat-spotted tyres, seized handbrake mechanisms, or perished rubber gaiters not visible during a static test. Given the spotless record and low annual use, this Passat reflects a well-maintained, low-stress example. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless confirm underbody condition for hidden corrosion and check fluid freshness, as infrequently driven cars often miss scheduled servicing despite passing MOTs.
