2016 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · ND16 FFR

This Volkswagen Passat shows an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 at 106,666 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health is consistent with the previous four years of testing, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage pattern reveals a significant increase in usage over the last three years. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the car covered 18,325 miles. However, the distance jumped to 24,627 miles between October 2022 and October 2023, and reached a peak of 23,629 miles in the year leading up to October 2024. The final recorded interval shows a further 23,629 miles added by October 2025. While the total mileage of 106,666 is typical for a ten year old vehicle, the recent acceleration in annual mileage suggests a shift in how the car is used, likely moving toward longer commutes. The absence of any advisories or failures across five consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There are no recorded issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The record suggests a previous owner who addressed wear and tear items before they became MOT failures. A physical inspection should still focus on high wear components given the recent high-mileage cycles. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these consumables will have worn faster since 2022. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion that the tester may have overlooked, and verify the service history to ensure the oil change intervals kept pace with the increased annual mileage.
