2014 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · R33 PBM

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 3 June 2025 at 92,875 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure was noted in early June 2024, the subsequent pass just one day later at the same mileage suggests the owner was proactive in addressing immediate mechanical issues to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,740 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the car covered 10,303 miles, which reflects a steady and predictable usage profile rather than long periods of stagnation or heavy commercial use. The gap of 3,388 miles between the May 2023 and June 2024 tests shows a slight increase in activity but remains well within the overall annual average. Given the clean nature of the most recent two tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation despite mileage. At over 92,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for perished rubber or leaks. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for excessive corrosion or thinning and examine the underside for structural integrity issues, as the MOT record does not predict the future onset of surface rust on the chassis.
