Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a high-mileage diesel cruiser. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pass rate without recorded defects in the last several years.
Given the vehicle's age and the 151,524 miles recorded, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history. While the MOT records show no defects, they do not confirm whether regular oil changes or timing belt replacements have occurred, which are critical for this 1968cc diesel engine.
When negotiating, consider the mileage. While the record is clean of MOT failures, you should ask for evidence of recent maintenance on wear-and-tear items. Check the service book specifically for intervals related to the diesel engine's long-term health.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Passat is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and load. Tax and insurance groups for a 2007 model are generally moderate, making it a predictable choice for many UK drivers.
Maintenance costs for this model can vary; while the MOT history shows no recent failures, budget for common diesel maintenance items such as fuel filters and EGR valve inspections. Estimated annual running costs typically include fuel, tax, insurance, and a contingency for standard servicing.
Although this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model highlights headlamps, tyres, and drive shaft joints as common failure points. You should manually inspect the condition of the tyres and ensure all lighting elements are functioning correctly.
Additionally, given the high mileage, inspect the drive shaft joints for any signs of play or noise during a test drive. Check the underside for any signs of leaks or corrosion that may not have been flagged in the most recent MOT tests.
This 2007 blue Volkswagen Passat has covered 151,524 miles since its first registration in May 2007. The MOT history is notable for having no recorded defects across the last five tests, including the most recent pass in June 2025. While the mileage is significant, the vehicle has maintained a consistent testing pattern.
Aggregate data from over 235,000 vehicles shows an 80% MOT pass rate for this model, with common issues relating to lighting, tyres, and drive shaft joints.
