2014 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · LR14 PFN

The 2014 Volkswagen Passat passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-12-09 at 147,510 miles. However, the maintenance trend is concerning, with recurring advisories on tyre wear, particularly on the front tyres. This suggests a worsening trend in vehicle upkeep, as the most recent test flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit. The fact that this issue has persisted across multiple tests indicates a lack of adequate maintenance. The recorded mileage of 147,510 miles, accumulated over approximately 12 years, translates to an average annual mileage of 12,292 miles. This is significantly higher than average for a vehicle of this age, indicating heavy use or potentially neglected maintenance. A notable gap in mileage records exists between 2021 and 2024, with the vehicle accumulating 39,285 miles in just two years. This rapid mileage accumulation suggests a period of intense use or possible neglect. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's tyres closely, as the recurring advisories on tyre wear are a cause for concern. In addition, the damaged nearside front upper windscreen, reported in the 2023 test, should be examined for any signs of further deterioration. The vehicle's brakes, particularly the rear brakes, which were flagged as binding in the 2023 test, should also be inspected for any signs of wear or damage.
