2020 Volkswagen Passat SEL TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · FH69 YKB

The 2020 Volkswagen Passat SEL TSI EVO presents a stable and unremarkable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 51,561 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean four-year sequence with no advisories or failures. The maintenance trend is steady, showing no worsening mechanical condition across the vehicle's recorded history. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 8,594 miles, consistent with typical use for a six-year-old car. The records show even yearly accumulation: 26,476 miles at the 2 December 2022 test, rising to 35,086 by 21 November 2023, 42,676 by 22 November 2024, and 51,561 by 25 November 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse in faults, listing only passes with no advisories, which suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. Given the absence of flagged defects, the buyer should still verify in person the condition of items a clean MOT will not expose. Inspect brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding or worn components can develop between annual tests. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for early cracking or corrosion, particularly around the subframes. Examine the exhaust emissions system and underbody for structural rust, since the tester logged no corrosion advisories across the period. Confirm tyre tread and sidewall health despite no recorded failures. The record implies disciplined ownership, but a physical inspection remains necessary to validate the Passat's mechanical integrity beyond the test bay.
