2020 Volkswagen Passat SEL TDI 2.0L Diesel · PE20 NLR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 07 February 2026 at 49,542 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. This transition from multiple advisories to a clear record suggests the current owner is proactive regarding necessary repairs and safety requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a six-year-old diesel vehicle, averaging approximately 8,257 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2025, the car covered 13,998 miles, followed by an additional 4,950 miles in the period leading up to the 2026 test. This steady usage pattern suggests long-distance driving, which generally benefits the diesel particulate filter and drivetrain components compared to vehicles used with short trips or long periods of standing. Specific attention should be paid to the February 2025 test at 44,592 miles, where testers flagged pitting and scoring on both the nearside and offside rear brake discs, alongside rear outer tyres reaching the legal tread limit. While the 2026 test confirms these were replaced or rectified, a buyer should verify the current condition of the brake pads and discs to ensure high-quality components were used. The previous uneven wear pattern on the tyres also warrants a physical check of the rear alignment and suspension bushes to ensure no underlying mechanical faults are causing premature tyre degradation.
