2013 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · RV13 CVG

This Passat presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT conducted on 4 November 2025 at 115,134 miles passing cleanly aside from minor cosmetic advisories. Both headlamp lenses carry a light film that does not seriously reduce output, and the front registration plate is deteriorated but remains legible. These are low-grade, non-mechanical items. The maintenance trend is broadly improving: the car has moved from a period of recurring tyre and brake advisories in 2023 and 2024 to a 2025 test with no safety-critical defects at all, suggesting the previous owner addressed consumable wear promptly. The mileage pattern is consistent and unremarkable for a 2013 vehicle. Annual accumulation of roughly 8,856 miles sits squarely within typical use. There are no suspicious gaps between tests; each MOT falls within a normal twelve-month window, and the mileage progression from 88,119 in November 2021 to 115,134 in November 2025 shows steady, linear growth with no sudden jumps or long dormant periods. The record is complete and coherent, which is a positive indicator of continuous use and regular servicing. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the areas that have historically drawn advisories. The front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit in November 2023 at 98,607 miles, and the rear tyres showed cracking and perishing in November 2024 at 106,605 miles. Confirm the age, condition, and brand match of all four tyres and the spare. The rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin in 2023, and the front brake discs carried a wear advisory in 2021. Request a check of pad thickness and disc condition, particularly for lipping, scoring, or uneven wear. Although the 2025 test recorded no brake defects, these components are consumable and their current state depends on how many miles have elapsed since the last replacement. The headlamp lens film and deteriorated front number plate are minor cosmetic points worth verifying but carry no structural or mechanical risk. With no corrosion, suspension, or exhaust advisories appearing across the full five-test history, this Passat shows no pattern of neglect or recurring mechanical fault. The record supports a vehicle that has been driven regularly and maintained to a competent standard.
