2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · MX65 YOY

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-07-27 with no defects recorded at 138,815 miles. However, a closer examination of the maintenance trend reveals a concerning pattern of recurring faults, particularly with tyre wear. The nearside front tyre has been flagged for cuts or deep wear in three consecutive tests since 2024, while the offside front tyre has shown signs of excessive wear since 2025. This suggests that the maintenance trend is worsening, with inadequate upkeep potentially leading to more severe issues down the line. The recorded mileage of 138,815 miles at 11 years old indicates high annual mileage, approximately 12,620 miles per year. A notable gap in mileage accumulation occurs between 2018 and 2020, where the vehicle's mileage increases by 15,812 miles in just two years. This rapid acceleration in mileage suggests that the vehicle may have been driven extensively during this period, potentially exacerbating wear on consumables and mechanical components. However, the mileage pattern is otherwise relatively consistent, with minor fluctuations throughout the vehicle's history. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's tyres and brake system in person, paying particular attention to the nearside front tyre, which has a history of cuts and deep wear. The offside front tyre has also shown signs of excessive wear, and the rear tyres have been flagged for poor condition and perishing in the past. Furthermore, the vehicle's brake discs have been worn, pitted, or scored in previous tests, indicating potential issues with the brake system's structural integrity. Additionally, the vehicle's suspension has shown signs of light misting of oil on the rear shock absorbers in 2024, which may indicate worn or damaged components.
