2017 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · PE67 TXR

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is rated as passable, as the most recent MOT on 2025-06-03 at 77,116 miles was passed without defects. This indicates that the vehicle has maintained acceptable mechanical condition since the initial registration in 2022. The maintenance trend appears stable, with a series of consecutive passes from 2022 to 2025, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped and no significant structural or mechanical risks have emerged. The mileage accumulation is relatively consistent with the vehicle's age of approximately eight years, though there are notable gaps in the record. The most recent test on 2025-06-03 at 77,116 miles was passed, whereas the previous test on 2024-06-26 at 66,590 miles was also passed. This pattern of passing tests over a five-year period suggests that the drivetrain and suspension components have remained within normal operating limits despite the high mileage. The absence of any defects in the recent records indicates that the vehicle is not currently prone to sudden failures. Given the lack of recurring faults, the buyer should not be alarmed by the high mileage alone. However, the vehicle must be inspected for structural integrity, particularly around the suspension and brakes, as these are the most common areas where wear accumulates over time. A thorough visual check of the wheel bearings, suspension bushings, and brake discs is recommended to confirm that no corrosion or binding calipers have developed. While the vehicle's overall condition is acceptable, a professional inspection is advised to rule out any hidden issues that may have been overlooked during the initial MOT.
