2017 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · MJ67 BVP

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 12 August 2025 at 109,548 miles resulted in a pass despite the tester flagging front inner brake discs as pitted or scored. While this indicates surface wear or corrosion rather than an immediate structural failure, the lack of recorded defects in the preceding four tests suggests the vehicle has historically been maintained to a high mechanical standard. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high usage, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year which sits above the national average for a nine-year-old car. Between November 2022 at 79,633 miles and August 2025 at 109,548 miles, the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles in under three years. This steady accumulation suggests regular long-distance driving, which is often preferable to the drivetrain than short city trips, yet it places significant demands on high-wear consumable components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and braking hardware. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to address the pitting noted in the 2025 record. Pitted discs often result from binding calipers or infrequent use, which can lead to uneven wear. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the front suspension geometry is necessary to identify perished rubber bushings or worn ball joints, as these typically reach their limit at this interval. The history shows no recurring structural corrosion or emissions failures, suggesting the core of the vehicle remains sound despite the high mileage.
