2011 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · RF11 NVR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 18 August 2025 at 192,995 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that satisfies the MOT testing requirements consistently. The lack of recurring failures across the period indicates a proactive approach to addressing mechanical wear and safety-critical components. The mileage profile is high for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,866 miles per annum. Data shows a consistent accumulation of use, such as the 14,457 miles driven between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 13,326 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This steady usage suggests the car has been used regularly for motorway commuting rather than sitting for long periods, which often prevents age-related degradation, though the high total mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain, turbo, and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to high-mileage fatigue that the MOT does not fully test. Given the nearly 200,000-mile mark, inspect the suspension geometry for signs of play and check the condition of the rubber arm bushings and shock absorbers. Look for any signs of structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans, as high-mileage use can accelerate rust depending on the environment, despite a clean test history.
