2016 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · RF65 ETU

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance profile with no recorded defects or advisories across the last four years of testing. The most recent MOT passed on 15 July 2025 at 101,778 miles with no issues identified. This consistent pass record suggests a steady approach to upkeep and indicates that the vehicle has avoided the common pitfalls of recurring failures or neglected consumables. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical annual usage pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle. Between the June 2022 test at 89,547 miles and the July 2025 test at 101,778 miles, the car has covered roughly 12,229 miles per year. This steady progression avoids the risks associated with excessive high-speed motorway mileage or the potential mechanical degradation caused by long periods of standing. The data shows a predictable and manageable wear rate for the drivetrain and suspension components. Because the MOT history is entirely free of advisories, there are no specific mechanical trends to flag from the official record. However, a physical inspection should still focus on components that typically require attention as mileage approaches the 100,000 mark. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. It is also prudent to check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody and to inspect the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding. Given the lack of recorded issues, the vehicle appears to be in a good state of repair regarding its legal compliance. A thorough check of the service history is recommended to supplement this MOT data, ensuring that scheduled oil changes and belt replacements have been carried out alongside these successful inspections.
