2017 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · MV67 FSJ

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward deferred maintenance. While the Passat passed its test in October 2025 at 107,450 miles, the tester flagged advisories for both the nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This represents a departure from the previous three years of clean records, suggesting that basic consumable upkeep has been neglected in the most recent mileage interval. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between September 2021 at 47,526 miles and October 2025 at 107,450 miles, the car covered over 60,000 miles, reflecting a steady usage pattern. The lack of any defects recorded between 2021 and 2024 indicates that the mechanical and structural components, such as the braking system, suspension, and chassis, did not suffer from significant failure or excessive corrosion during its mid-life period. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front suspension and steering geometry to determine if the edge wear noted in 2025 was caused by an alignment issue or worn bushes and ball joints. Given the high mileage now, a thorough check of the shock absorbers and the condition of the brake discs and calipers is also necessary. While the history is structurally sound, the recent tyre advisories suggest the next owner will benefit from a more proactive approach to preventative maintenance to avoid further mechanical degradation.
