Our Verdict
This is a relatively low-mileage example
When inspecting this 2014 Passat, focus on the suspension components. The MOT records from 2023 and 2024 specifically noted wear on the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes. While the 2025 MOT passed with no defects, you should confirm that these specific parts were replaced or repaired to prevent a recurrence of these advisories.
Ask the seller for evidence of any recent suspension maintenance. Additionally, check the condition of the registration plates, as 'deteriorated' plates were a recurring advisory in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Finally, ensure the 1.6 TDI engine has had regular oil changes, as this is vital for the longevity of the turbocharger and timing components in these Volkswagen diesel units.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Passat is designed for efficient long-distance cruising. Expect competitive fuel economy, particularly on motorways, which is typical for the TDI engine range.
Maintenance costs for this model generally follow standard German saloon patterns; while parts can be more expensive than budget brands, the 1.6L engine is a common unit. Annual running costs will be influenced by your insurance group and tax band, but you should budget for regular diesel servicing and periodic suspension component replacements.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension. The MOT history explicitly identifies worn suspension arm pins/bushes on both the nearside and offside in previous years. Even with a clean 2025 report, listen for knocks or knocks over uneven surfaces during a test drive.
Check the tyres and wheels for any signs of previous repairs, noting that a nail in the offside front tyre was recorded in 2023. You should also inspect the exterior registration plates to ensure they are clear, legible, and not showing the deterioration noted in three consecutive MOT tests prior to 2025.
Registered in July 2014, this black 1.6 TDI Passat R-Line has covered 66,249 miles, which is below the model average of 13,338 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor suspension advisories between 2023 and 2024, though the most recent test in September 2025 recorded no defects. The vehicle's mileage is significantly lower than the aggregate average for this model type.
Based on an analysis of 194 similar vehicles, this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 88.2%.
