2018 Volkswagen Passat 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · FH67 XTV

The Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 4 March 2026 at 99,638 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The tester raised no defects at that test. Prior to this, the vehicle failed on the same date at 99,637 miles yet with no defects logged, then passed later that day. A similar pattern occurred in February and March 2025, failing on 21 February at 90,087 miles with no defects, then passing on 6 March 2025 at the same mileage. These paired fail-pass entries with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentational anomalies at the test centre rather than mechanical decline. The odometer shows 99,638 miles against an eight-year lifespan, averaging roughly 12,455 miles per year. That figure sits above typical private-use norms for a 2018 Passat and points to sustained motorway or business mileage. Accumulation ran steady: 78,332 miles at the February 2024 test, rising to 90,087 by February 2025 and 99,638 by March 2026. No extended dormancy appears between tests. The DVSA data itself stays clean, with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear record. High annual mileage loads consumable items the MOT may not flag until worn beyond limit. Examine front and rear brake calipers for binding, measure disc thickness, and check suspension arms and bushes for play. Inspect subframes and sills for corrosion given the salt exposure a high-mileage car accumulates. The repeated no-defect failures preceding immediate passes warrant a check of the V5C and test certificates to confirm no omitted advisory lines. Previous keepers likely maintained statutory testing but the dual entries imply loose workshop admin rather than neglect. Verify service history matches the 12k-mile yearly spread before purchase.
