2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · PE65 KYF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 202,089 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that following an initial failure in June 2022, the owners have successfully addressed necessary repairs and maintained the vehicle to a standard that passes inspection without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern reflects high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 18,400 miles per year over its eleven-year life. Between June 2023 and July 2025, the vehicle covered 59,170 miles, showing a significant jump compared to the 15,332 miles recorded in the previous year-long period. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance or motorway driving, which typically places less strain on clutches and brakes than stop-start city traffic. The consistency of the annual testing despite the high mileage indicates the car has remained in regular use rather than sitting stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to high-mileage wear despite the clean MOT history. At over 200,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers are likely nearing the end of their functional life. Inspect the chassis for signs of advanced corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it becomes a safety risk. Given the high mileage, verifying the service history regarding the timing belt and water pump is essential to ensure the drivetrain has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals.
