2006 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · GL06 AFK

The Volkswagen Passat presents a current MOT pass dated 26 November 2025 at 153,913 miles, confirming roadworthy status at that test. The maintenance trend is stable, with no defects or advisories logged across the three most recent annual examinations. In the November 2025 test cycle, the vehicle first failed on 25 November 2025 at 153,913 miles with no defects recorded, then passed the next day. This exact pattern recurred in November 2024, when a failure on 27 November at 147,806 miles preceded a pass on 28 November with no faults listed. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 20-year-old vehicle. The record shows 140,458 miles at the 2 December 2023 test, rising to 147,806 miles by 28 November 2024, a 7,348-mile increment over twelve months. By 26 November 2025 the odometer read 153,913 miles, adding 6,107 miles across the year. The overall average of roughly 7,700 miles per annum reflects gentle touring rather than high-stress urban cycling. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, showing no gap longer than thirteen months between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished defect history. The Passat’s age and 153,913 miles place suspension bushes, front coil springs, and brake disc wear into the expected replacement window. The tester flagged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet sills, subframes, and exhaust emissions components demand visual checks for rust perforation. The repeated fail-pass pairs with zero recorded defects imply the previous keeper may have presented the car for certification without resolving a paperwork anomaly; verify the V5C and MOT certificate authenticity before purchase.
