2004 Volkswagen Passat 1.9L Diesel · DA04 FLF

The Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy based on the most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 29 November 2022 at 117,115 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the supplied history, as the vehicle passed without advisories in both the December 2021 and November 2022 tests following minor administrative failures. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring defects emerge from the record. The odometer shows 117,115 miles against a 2004 build date, equating to roughly 5,323 miles per year and marking this as a low-use example for its age. Between the 6 December 2021 failure at 113,510 miles and the 29 November 2022 pass at 117,115 miles, the car covered only 3,605 miles in nearly twelve months. Such low accumulation suggests either light domestic use or extended periods of storage, though the record offers no evidence of rapid wear cycles or mileage gaps beyond the sparse two-year window provided. The November 2022 and December 2021 failures carry no recorded defects, indicating the tester raised no mechanical or structural concerns on those dates. This clean advisory history means the DVSA data flags no outstanding suspension bushes, brake disc wear, exhaust corrosion, or structural integrity issues for the buyer to pursue from the record alone. Given the low mileage and absence of logged faults, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of age-related items not always caught in a pass: front coil springs, subframe corrosion, and brake caliper condition after likely standing periods. Verify the 2022 pass remains the last test, as the vehicle shows no MOT entry for 2023 through to today's date in July 2026.
