2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · NL15 FDD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test in January 2025. While the record shows immediate failures on test dates at 127,259 miles, the subsequent pass with no defects recorded indicates that the owner addressed and rectified the identified faults before the re-test. The lack of ongoing advisories across the last three years suggests a vehicle that is currently in a clean state regarding the safety and emissions standards monitored by the DVSA. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old Volkswagen Passat, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. Between March 2023 at 94,319 miles and January 2024 at 103,528 miles, the car covered roughly 9,200 miles, showing moderate usage. The significant jump of 23,731 miles recorded between January 2024 and January 2025 indicates a period of high annual mileage, which typically accelerates the wear on high-friction components such as tyres, suspension bushes, and brake components. A buyer should focus on the specific components that caused the failures at 94,319 and 127,259 miles, as the record does not detail the exact mechanical faults. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection of the front control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs is essential, as these are common points of failure on this platform under heavy use. Checking the condition of the brake discs for thinning or binding calipers will also ensure that the recent high-mileage period has not caused undue degradation of the braking system.
