2016 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · RF66 NHK

This Volkswagen Passat presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of maintenance. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 73,471 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The vehicle has covered 73,471 miles over ten years, averaging roughly 7,347 miles per year. This is a typical usage pattern for a car of this age. The mileage progression is consistent and linear, growing from 63,783 miles in December 2022 to 73,471 miles by December 2025. There are no sudden spikes in usage or long periods of dormancy that would suggest erratic ownership or neglected service intervals. The absence of any advisories or failures across five consecutive years is rare for a decade-old vehicle. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions throughout the records from 2022 to 2025. This suggests a previous owner who likely adhered to a strict preventative maintenance schedule rather than reacting only to MOT failures. A physical inspection should still focus on common age-related wear that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads to ensure they have not reached their limit since the December 2025 test. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for surface corrosion, as the clean record implies the car has been well-kept, but environmental wear remains a factor for a 2016 model.
