2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · FL59 LCV

The 2009 Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its two most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 5 May 2023 at 220,123 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, matching the prior pass on 13 May 2022 at 206,591 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition in the official record. Mileage stands at 220,123 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 12,948 miles per year. The recorded jump of 13,532 miles between May 2022 and May 2023 aligns with that annual average and shows consistent high-use motoring rather than standing periods. The supplied history covers only these two consecutive tests, so the dataset is sparse; nonetheless, both entries are clean with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or emissions. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high cumulative mileage and the age of the chassis. The absence of advisories does not rule out latent corrosion on structural members or fatigued rubber components that a static test may miss. Verify the service history to confirm drivetrain intervals were met under this mileage load. Given the clean record and stable trend, the Passat reads as mechanically honest on paper, but the 220,000-mile figure demands scrutiny of clutch wear, turbo condition, and underbody rust before purchase. Previous owners kept it through two untarnished tests; that implies basic upkeep was maintained, yet no margin exists for deferred consumable replacement at this age.
