2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · ML09 CEX

The Volkswagen Passat presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 21 October 2025 at 164,164 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The tester logged no defects at that examination. This clean result follows a prior pass on 7 October 2024 at 154,398 miles and an earlier pass on 5 October 2023 at 142,155 miles, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the three-year span. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,657 miles based on the 164,164 total against the vehicle's 2009 build, a figure typical for a 17-year-old car. The record shows steady accumulation: 142,155 miles in October 2023, 154,398 in October 2024, and 164,164 in October 2025, equating to about 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year with no standing gaps or sudden jumps. The DVSA data is sparse, listing only pass outcomes and two same-day failures on 21 October 2025 and 5 October 2023 where the tester recorded no defects, suggesting administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high overall mileage and age. The absence of advisories in the record does not preclude worn consumables or developing corrosion beneath the sills and subframes. Verify the two failure entries were clerical and confirm the V5C aligns with the 164,164-mile odometer before purchase.
