2013 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · EO63 LRY

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 16 March 2026 at 62,315 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable and reliable maintenance trend over the last five years. This suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and protected from the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old Passat, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 14,896 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern rather than erratic bursts. The smallest interval occurred between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where the vehicle covered only 2,333 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, it can occasionally lead to age-related perish of rubber seals or corrosion on brake discs due to long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT record has shown no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than miles of use. A buyer should specifically examine the underside for surface rust on the exhaust system and structural members, as low-use vehicles often suffer from moisture retention. Check the suspension bushes for cracking and ensure the brake calipers are not seized or heavily pitted from infrequent use. Given the low mileage, verifying the service history for oil fluid changes is also essential, as these components degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
