2020 Volkswagen Passat SE NAV TDI 2.0L Diesel · KV70 LWA

The vehicle currently holds an MOT rating of 100, indicating that the last test was conducted on 2026-06-18, placing the vehicle firmly within the 30-year window of the test. This recent test at 71,844 miles confirms that the vehicle is in good standing for this specific date, but the history reveals a clear deterioration trend in the brakes and engine system. The most recent failure on 2025-04-30 at 46,932 miles highlights a critical issue where the front brake pads were worn down to the wear indicator, a condition typically associated with early-stage wear that requires immediate attention. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of miles since the initial 2026-04-27 test, accumulating 26,912 miles in the period from 2025-04-30 to 2025-05-01. This rapid gain suggests that the owner may have been relying on a lower mileage threshold to maintain a low MOT score, or the vehicle has been driven less frequently than the average for its age class, which would result in higher wear on components like suspension bushes and coil springs over time. Given the recurring faults in the front brake pads and the engine malfunction, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of suspension components, brake discs, and engine parts. If the brakes show signs of binding or if the engine MIL indicates a malfunction, the vehicle should be moved to a specialist with a comprehensive inspection to rule out structural risks. The vehicle is currently in poor roadworthiness due to these recurring mechanical issues and the rapid mileage accumulation, necessitating a full diagnostic to determine if the current vehicle is safe to drive.
