2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · PE65 AEK

This Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 103,255 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes, indicating the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,387 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between November 2024 and November 2025, where the odometer climbed from 82,621 to 103,255 miles. This jump of over 20,000 miles in a single year suggests a change in the vehicle's duty cycle, likely transitioning to longer commutes or motorway use. The MOT history is unusually clean for a car of this age and mileage. A failure on 31 October 2023 at 73,660 miles was resolved within three days, though the record does not specify the exact fault. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre wear across multiple tests suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook minor surface rust that does not yet compromise integrity. Given the recent high-mileage year, checking the condition of the brake pads and oil service intervals is advisable to ensure the increased usage did not accelerate the wear of consumables beyond their service life.
