2017 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · ML67 AEG

The 2017 Volkswagen Passat presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 6 March 2026 at 92,348 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories. The maintenance trend is stable, with no worsening mechanical faults or recurring consumable neglect across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,261 miles, which is typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 74,329 miles in February 2022, 79,886 in February 2023, 84,584 in February 2024, 89,425 in February 2025, and 92,348 in March 2026. No gaps or abrupt jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse in volume but consistently clean, indicating the previous keeper maintained test compliance without deferred faults. Given the absence of flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or binding brake calipers, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes at this age do not certify absence of developing rust. Examine brake disc thickness and coil spring condition, since these wear silently between tests. Verify service history against the recorded mileages to confirm fluid changes and timing belt intervals were met. The clean MOT trail implies disciplined ownership, but a physical check of tyre sidewalls and exhaust emissions under load remains prudent before purchase.
