2015 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · DA65 LUB

The 2015 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 9 May 2025 at 210,625 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year clean test history. The maintenance trend is steady, with no advisories or failures logged across the available record. Annual mileage averages 19,148 across the car's eleven years, which is high for a 2015 model. The records show consistent yearly use: 156,604 miles on 19 April 2022, rising to 174,170 by 3 May 2023, 192,967 on 1 May 2024, and 210,625 on 9 May 2025. Each interval adds roughly 18,000 miles. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with no gaps and no consumable or structural faults flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage. High annual distances accelerate wear on these components even when testers log no advisory. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the record suggests previous owners kept the car serviced to test standard. Check for underlying structural rust and drivetrain condition in person before purchase. The clean MOT trail implies disciplined upkeep, yet 210,625 miles on a Passat demands scrutiny of clutch, turbo, and subframe integrity that a visual test does not capture.
