2014 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · RE64 XCB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 31 December 2025 at 142,179 miles passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the clean results of the four preceding inspections. This consistency suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach, addressing potential mechanical or safety issues before they could result in an MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a family saloon, averaging approximately 11,850 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 99,787 miles and December 2025 at 142,179 miles, the car has covered over 42,000 miles, showing steady and regular operation. The gap of 3,984 miles between the January 2025 and December 2025 tests indicates the vehicle is used frequently, which helps prevent the component degradation associated with long periods of standing stationary. While the digital record shows no recurring advisories or failures, an in-person inspection should focus on high-wear components common to a Passat of this age and mileage. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade around the 140,000-mile mark. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the brake discs for thinning and ensuring calipers are not binding is also prudent, as the MOT only tests for functional safety rather than the remaining life of the parts.
