2015 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · GM64 CKX

The 2015 Volkswagen Passat shows a current roadworthy status following the March 2026 test at 163,487 miles, where the vehicle passed after an initial failure on the same date with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the last three years, with passes recorded at 152,622 miles in March 2024, 157,694 miles in March 2025, and 163,487 miles in March 2026. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern at the 2025 and 2026 tests, both with no defects logged, suggests administrative re-testing rather than mechanical rectification. Mileage stands at 163,487 over roughly eleven years, equating to about 14,862 miles annually, which is high for the vehicle's age and points to sustained motorway or business use. The recorded distances rose from 152,622 in March 2024 to 157,694 in March 2025, then to 163,487 in March 2026, a steady accumulation of around 5,000 to 6,000 miles per year. No gaps or sudden surges appear in the data. The DVSA record itself is sparse, listing no advisories or component-specific faults across any entry. Given the clean test history with zero advisories, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as high annual mileage accelerates wear on these items even when testers raise no flags. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant physical checks, particularly around sills and subframes exposed to winter road salt over eleven years. The same-day failures with no defects recorded imply the previous owner used a compliant garage for quick re-tests, but offer no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep such as tyres or wiper blades.
