2017 Volkswagen Passat SE Business TDI BMT 2.0L Diesel · RO17 FTU

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 27 May 2026 at 94,719 miles which returned no recorded defects or advisories. This reflects a remarkably stable maintenance trend, as the car has consistently passed its inspections without the tester flagging mechanical or structural failures. The absence of recurring faults suggests the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to the vehicle's upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old diesel, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Data shows a significant interval of 20,382 miles between the January 2022 test at 43,774 miles and the March 2023 test at 64,156 miles, followed by another 17,069 miles before the July 2024 inspection. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than suffering from long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the health of seals and brake components. While the digital record is clean, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to wear as the car approaches the 100,000-mile threshold. The buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these often begin to degrade at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the brake discs for thinning and inspecting the remaining life on the pads is also prudent, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than remaining life.
