2013 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · KS13 LCN

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 18 June 2025 at 170,745 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently passes its inspections after immediate failures in the preceding years. The lack of recorded defects in the 2025 pass suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing identified issues before the annual test, rather than allowing mechanical faults to accumulate through neglect. At 170,745 miles, this thirteen-year-old Passat has averaged approximately 13,100 miles per year, which sits significantly above the national average for a passenger car. The data shows consistent usage over the years, with 12,866 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 11,597 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This high-frequency usage places considerable strain on heavy-duty components like drivetrain bushings and the suspension assembly compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower suspensionwork and braking system, as the high mileage often accelerates the wear of coil springs, control arm bushes, and shock absorbers. While the record shows no recurring structural failures, the pattern of failing followed by passing indicates that minor mechanical adjustments or component swaps are necessary annually to maintain compliance. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the brake discs and the integrity of the calipers is essential to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to excessive thermal wear.
