2009 Volkswagen Passat Highline TDI 105 1.9L Heavy oil · NNZ 1034

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 27 February 2023 at 197,357 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance trend. Earlier tests in October 2021 at 180,940 miles and September 2021 at 180,367 miles also showed no defects, indicating consistent upkeep over the past two years. The mileage of 197,357 miles over the car's 17‑year lifespan averages about 11,600 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The gap between the September 2021 failure test at 180,367 miles and the October 2021 pass at 180,940 miles represents only 573 miles in fifteen days, suggesting the vehicle was not idle, and the subsequent rise to 197,357 miles by February 2023 shows steady usage at roughly 4,100 miles per month. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake calipers and discs for binding or scoring, and look for structural rust on the sills, wheel arches and underbody, as these components commonly degrade with high mileage. Although the MOT history records no defects, a physical check of tyre tread, wiper blades and exhaust condition is advisable to confirm that consumable items have been maintained.
