2017 Volkswagen Passat 1.4L Petrol · PE67 GUH

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 8 May 2025 at 13,240 miles resulted in no defects and no advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard over the last five years, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation appearing in the official DVSA data. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,471 miles per year. Between the 2020 test at 5,911 miles and the 2025 test at 13,240 miles, the car covered only 7,329 miles over five years. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests indicate the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Such patterns can sometimes lead to fluid degradation or rubber components that a standard MOT might not fully capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically affected by low-mileage storage. Priority goes to checking the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a car is not driven frequently. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for dry rot cracking due to age rather than wear. Despite the clean MOT record, verifying the age of the tyres is essential to ensure they have not become brittle despite having significant tread depth.
