2016 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · SF16 TCP

The most recent MOT on 7 June 2025 recorded a pass at 68,314 miles with no defects noted, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend appears stable. Earlier passes in June 2024, June 2023 and April 2022 also reported no failures, and the isolated duplicate entry on 19 June 2024 showing both pass and fail likely reflects a clerical anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. Mileage has risen from 38,361 miles in April 2022 to 68,314 miles by June 2025, an increase of roughly 30,000 miles over three years, equating to about 10,000 miles per annum. For a 2016 model this aligns with average annual use and suggests no periods of excessive short‑term mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity. The record shows no gaps in testing; each annual MOT was completed within the required interval, reinforcing the impression of consistent care. A prospective buyer should still examine wear items that the MOT does not capture. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify that brake pads and discs show even wear and no scoring, and check that suspension bushings and coil springs are free of corrosion or excessive play. A visual survey of the under‑carriage for rust, especially around wheel arches and the chassis, will confirm that the clean MOT history reflects genuine structural integrity. Finally, confirm that all service records correspond with the mileage progression shown here, as the absence of recorded advisories suggests routine maintenance, but direct verification of oil changes, filter replacements, and timing‑belt status will provide confidence that the drivetrain remains sound.
