2014 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · PS02 ASH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on May 1, 2026, 108,675 miles. While the car failed that same day due to an insecure offside front track rod end ball joint dust cover, the repair was immediately addressed to secure a pass. The overall maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, as the vehicle achieved three consecutive years with no recorded defects or advisories, suggesting the previous owners proactively managed minor mechanical requirements before they escalated. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old Passat, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between May 2023 at 92,526 miles and May 2026 at 108,675 miles, the car covered 16,149 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage patterns. This consistent mileage generally prevents the accelerated degradation associated with long stationary periods or excessive wear seen in high-mile commuters. The lack of advisories over these years suggests that the chassis and braking components have remained in good condition. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension to ensure the recently replaced track rod end is properly fitted and free of play. Since the record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake issues, a visual check of the subframe and control arm bushes is advised to confirm no hidden rust has developed. Given the age and mileage, verifying the condition of the rubber components and checking for any fluid leaks is standard practice to ensure the clean MOT history reflects the current mechanical state of the vehicle.
