2016 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · GD66 NXA

The 2025-10-16 MOT at 261,671 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. The mileage has risen from 134,002 miles in October 2021 to 261,671 miles in October 2025, an average annual increase of roughly 26,000 miles, which is high for a ten‑year‑old car and points to intensive use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. The tests are spaced exactly one year apart with no missing entries, confirming a regular inspection schedule. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that typically show wear at this mileage: suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, rear brake calipers for binding, brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and the exhaust system for leaks or excessive emissions. Structural rust on the chassis, sills and wheel arches should also be examined, as high mileage can accelerate corrosion in these areas. Given the absence of recorded defects, the vehicle appears well maintained, but the high annual mileage warrants a thorough in‑person inspection of the items listed above to verify that wear has been managed and that no hidden structural or braking issues exist.
