2018 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · CY68 AEM

The 2018 Volkswagen Passat remains roadworthy, as confirmed by the October 27, 2025 MOT at 54,834 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. The consecutive annual tests from 2022 through 2025 all resulted in passes, indicating a stable maintenance record without recurring failures. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 30,702 miles in late 2022 to 54,834 miles by mid‑2026, averaging about 6,854 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for an eight‑year‑old car. The interval between the 2022 and 2023 tests is just over one year and 342 miles, while subsequent gaps are roughly one year, showing consistent annual usage rather than long periods of inactivity or rapid mileage buildup. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and check the chassis and underbody for any signs of structural rust or corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills. The exhaust system should be assessed for emissions compliance, and the tyre tread depth and condition should be verified, as the record shows no documented defects but these items are common wear points that may not be captured in the MOT.
