2013 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Petrol · KE63 SEY

The Volkswagen Passat presents a current roadworthy status following the June 2025 test, with the most recent recorded MOT on 23 June 2025 at 48,868 miles showing a pass and no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the same date also records a failure with no defects cited, a known DVSA anomaly where a vehicle is failed then passed on correction or administrative re-entry. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the supplied history. The odometer reads 48,868 miles against a 2013 build, equating to roughly 3,759 miles per year. This is low for a thirteen-year-old estate-class car. Low annual use often signals short trips or prolonged standing, which can allow corrosion and perished seals to develop unseen. The record shows only the 2025 entries; earlier tests are absent from this dataset, so no rapid accumulation or gap can be verified beyond the final reading. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and likely intermittent use. Standing vehicles commonly suffer from binding calipers and flat-spotted tyres. The clean advisory list in June 2025 suggests the tester found no immediate wear, but a single pass does not evidence long-term care. Previous ownership behaviour cannot be judged from defects alone, as the history carries none. The duplicated 23 June 2025 fail-pass pair implies a same-day retest rather than neglected repair. Verify the V5C and service book to confirm the low mileage is genuine and not a clocked record.
