2014 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · DF14 AAO

The Volkswagen Passat holds a valid MOT pass from the 8 September 2025 test at 134,693 miles with no defects recorded. That examination sits about ten months before July 2026, keeping the roadworthiness confirmation reasonably current. Maintenance trend stays stable across the recorded history. The tester logged a fail with no defects on 8 September 2025 at 134,690 miles, then passed the car three miles later the same day. An identical pattern occurred on 9 September 2023 at 102,176 miles, where a fail with no defects preceded a same-day pass. These anomalies indicate procedural quirks rather than mechanical deterioration. Mileage progression matches typical use for a 2014 vehicle. The odometer read 102,176 miles in September 2023, climbed to 121,558 miles by September 2024, and reached 134,693 miles in September 2025. That yields roughly 19,000 miles in the first interval and 13,000 in the second, both near the 11,224 annual average yet showing continuous coverage. No testing gaps appear in the twelve-year span. A buyer should still examine high-mileage mechanical components in person despite the clean advisory sheet. Inspect front suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, check brake discs and calipers for binding or scoring, and assess subframe and sill structures for corrosion. Consumable items such as tyre tread and wiper blades warrant visual confirmation. Previous owners kept the car on a strict annual test cycle, and the absent defect log suggests basic upkeep was not skipped. The twin fail-pass entries hint at administrative oversight rather than neglected maintenance. A pre-purchase inspection of drivetrain and structural integrity remains sensible given the mileage.
