2019 Volkswagen Passat SEL TDI S-A 1.6L Diesel · DA69 BEO

The Volkswagen Passat SEL TDI S-A presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 156,616 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual examinations also closed clean. The DVSA history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the five entries, indicating the vehicle has not carried forward recurring wear items or structural concerns that would suggest deterioration. Mileage accumulation on this 2019 model runs high for its age at roughly 22,374 miles per year. The record jumps from 69,638 miles at the 19 October 2023 test to 113,322 miles by 22 October 2024, then to 118,815 miles on 9 December 2024, before reaching 156,616 miles at the December 2025 test. The sparse spread of entries leaves a long gap between October 2023 and October 2024 where over 43,000 miles were covered, pointing to sustained motorway or business use rather than short urban cycles. High annual distance typically accelerates consumable and drivetrain wear even where tests stay clean. The duplicate 22 October 2024 entries show a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, which suggests an administrative or documentation correction rather than a raised mechanical fault. Because the tester recorded no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion at any stage, the history gives no evidence of underlying structural or brake-related risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension and braking components given the 156,616-mile total and the intense 2023 to 2024 accumulation. Examine underbody for early corrosion and check front lower arms and rear trailing bushes for play. Verify service records cover the timing belt and dual-mass flywheel, as high-mileage TDI units wear these without MOT fault flags.
