2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · RA15 GGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward neglected consumable upkeep. The most recent test in April 2026 at 139,111 miles resulted in a failure for front tyres being worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear on both sides. This indicates a potential lack of recent alignment attention or a failure to replace tyres in a timely manner, whereas the records between 2022 and 2025 were notably clean with no recorded defects. The mileage profile reflects a consistent high-mileage pattern, averaging approximately 12,600 miles per year. Between June 2024 at 122,828 miles and April 2026 at 139,111 miles, the vehicle covered 16,283 miles in just under two years. This accelerated rate of use places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. While the regular intervals between MOT tests suggest the car is used regularly, the high cumulative mileage on an eleven-year-old Passat increases the likelihood of reaching the end of heavy-duty mechanical components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and bushings due to the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2026 report. Given the high mileage, close attention should be paid to the shock absorbers and control arm bushes, which often degrade at this stage. While the MOT history does not flag structural corrosion yet, the age and mileage necessitate a physical check of the underbody mounting points and the exhaust system to ensure no hidden rust has developed despite the clean test history.
