2021 Volkswagen Passat 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · DA71 CBU

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness based on the available DVSA data. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 84,803 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a clean result from October 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components are currently operating within acceptable parameters without recurring failure patterns. The mileage profile indicates significant usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per annum. Between the October 2024 test at 64,599 miles and the September 2025 test, the car covered 20,204 miles in just under eleven months. This consistent high-mileage pattern suggests regular motorway driving, which typically results in less wear on the clutch compared to city driving but places higher demands on the drivetrain and suspension components. While the MOT records show no immediate failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. Particular attention is required for the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often show degradation after passing 80,000 miles. The braking system should be checked for uneven pad wear or scored discs, given the rapid accumulation of miles between the last two tests.
