2018 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · GD18 AAV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 09 May 2025 at 54,447 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at 54,444 miles. This suggests an administrative error or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since the 2022 inspection, the car has maintained a consistent record of clean passes without any noted advisories or structural red flags. The mileage profile is consistent with typical low-useage patterns, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Data points from 31,291 miles in May 2022 to 54,447 miles in May 2025 show steady, incremental use. The gap of roughly 7,400 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates the vehicle is not subjected to long-distance motorway stress. This low mileage generally implies reduced wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and brake components compared to higher-mileage examples of the same age. The MOT history is devoid of recurring faults regarding structural integrity, exhaust corrosion, or brake performance. Because the vehicle has been used infrequently, a buyer should still inspect for age-related rubber degradation such as tyre boots and wipers, which can perish regardless of distance driven. Check the state of the brake discs and calipers for pitting, as the record has not previously flagged any binding issues. The overall lack of advisories suggests the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to basic upkeep.
