2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · GL15 GHF

The 2015 Volkswagen Passat's roadworthiness status appears stable based on the most recent MOT test on 2025-07-18 at 118,790 miles, where it passed with a minor advisory for the rear child seat obstructing the adult belt inspection. This pass indicates that, at the time of the last test, the vehicle met the minimum legal standards for roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 118,790 miles over 11 years suggests an average annual mileage of approximately 10,799 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of its age. The mileage progression from the test records shows steady and consistent usage: 99,607 miles in 2022, 104,695 miles in 2023, 111,572 miles in 2024, and 118,790 miles in 2025. There are no notable gaps or periods of rapid mileage accumulation evident from the data provided. The MOT history reveals a couple of recurring issues, notably with the rear child seat obstructing the inspection of the adult seatbelt, which was noted in multiple tests. A more significant issue was the failure in 2022 due to a serious fluid leak in the offside rear shock absorber. However, this specific issue does not recur in subsequent tests, suggesting it was addressed. The nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit in 2022, indicating some wear on consumables. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear shock absorbers, for any signs of leaks or wear and verify the condition of the tyres, ensuring they meet the legal tread depth and are not unevenly worn. Additionally, it would be prudent for a buyer to check for any signs of structural rust, inspect the brake discs and pads for wear, and ensure that the seatbelts and associated mechanisms are functioning correctly, given the recurring mention of the rear child seat affecting the adult belt inspection. Overall, while the vehicle has passed recent MOT tests, personal inspection of these components can provide a clearer picture of the vehicle's current condition and potential for future reliability.
