2016 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · GC65 LFH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent inspection on January 28, 2026 at 118,409 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern, as the car consistently passes its inspections despite initial failures on the same day. The absence of any recorded advisories in the 2026 pass certificate suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults immediately to ensure the vehicle meets the minimum safety standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per annum. Between the January 2024 test at 94,919 miles and the January 2025 test at 106,912 miles, the car covered 11,993 miles. A further 11,497 miles were recorded in the following year leading up to the 2026 test. This steady rate of regular use generally indicates that mechanical components are being exercised regularly, preventing the degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the record is clean of structural corrosion, the recurring failures on the day of testing in both 2025 and 2026 suggest that minor components or consumable items are reaching the end of their service. A buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, as these are common sources of last-minute MOT failures. Given the mileage exceeds 110,000 miles, checking the condition of the drivetrain and the integrity of the brake discs is also advisable to ensure no hidden wear exists that has not yet triggered a formal advisory.
