2018 Volkswagen Passat 1.4L Petrol · FG67 UPO

The 2018 Volkswagen Passat presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 81,965 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of five consecutive passes since 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification work at any test stage. Annual mileage has tracked close to the typical expectation for an eight-year-old car. The tester logged 37,684 miles on 6 January 2022, rising to 46,356 by 6 January 2023, 60,095 on 5 January 2024, 71,613 on 9 December 2024, and 81,965 on 18 December 2025. This equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year with no abrupt accumulation spikes or dormant gaps. The sparse but consistent record shows only odometer readings and pass results, leaving no consumable wear or structural concerns on file. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The absence of advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion were not flagged, yet MOT passes do not confirm component life remaining. Given the Passat is now past 80,000 miles, examine the front suspension arms for worn bushes, check rear brake calipers for binding, and inspect exhaust emissions hardware for ageing seals. Verify service history independently to corroborate the low-fault MOT pattern. The clean test sequence suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but tyres, wiper blades, and fluid intervals fall outside MOT scope. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm genuine mileage continuity and assess drivetrain condition beyond the DVSA data.
