2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · DA65 CWR

The 2015 Volkswagen Passat presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 October 2023 at 210,875 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in October 2022 and October 2021 also passed with no advisories. The vehicle shows no recurring mechanical faults or worsening condition across the three-year MOT window. Mileage accumulation sits high for an eleven-year-old car. The record shows 110,496 miles in October 2021, rising to 166,477 miles by October 2022, then jumping to 210,875 miles by October 2023. That equates to roughly 44,000 miles in the first interval and 44,000 in the second, against an annual average near 19,170. The three clean passes confirm no gaps in testing, but the heavy yearly use points to sustained motorway or fleet-style operation rather than light private ownership. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high annual mileage and elapsed time since the last test in October 2023. The DVSA record carries no advisories on corrosion or structural integrity, yet standing for over two years since the final MOT means rubber components, calipers, and exhaust emissions could have degraded without formal scrutiny. Treat the clean history as evidence of basic statutory compliance, not proof of ongoing condition. Verify the actual odometer against the 210,875 figure and check for outstanding manufacturer recalls on the Passat before purchase.
