Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a high-mi
Given the 117,130 miles on the clock, the primary focus should be on the service history. Verify that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals, as these are critical for the 1968cc diesel engine.
Check for evidence of recent maintenance on the tyres, as the November 2025 MOT specifically flagged the nearside rear tyre as being close to the legal limit. Use the above-average mileage as a point for price negotiation, ensuring the vehicle has a documented history of oil changes and filter replacements.
The 2.0L diesel engine is typically efficient for long-distance cruising, which aligns with the higher mileage seen on this specific vehicle. Tax and insurance will vary by trim, but the Passat generally sits in a moderate insurance group for its class.
Maintenance costs will likely center on wear-and-tear items such as brake discs and pads. Based on the engine size and age, the annual running costs will include fuel, VED, and routine servicing to keep the diesel system healthy.
Start by inspecting the tyres, specifically the nearside rear, to see if the wear noted in the 2025 MOT has been addressed. Examine the headlights and drive shaft joints, as these are identified as top failure reasons across the wider Passat aggregate data.
Check the exhaust and DPF area for soot buildup, which can occur in high-mileage diesels. A test drive should focus on the smoothness of the drive shaft to ensure no premature wear is present, consistent with common model failure patterns.
This blue 2016 Volkswagen Passat has recorded 117,130 miles, which is above the model average. It possesses a clean MOT history with five consecutive passes and no recorded failures since 2021. The most recent test in November 2025 noted a worn nearside rear tyre as an advisory.
The Passat demonstrates a stable reliability profile with an 80% average MOT pass rate across 235,660 analysed vehicles.
