2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · SL09 DDF

The 2026‑01‑09 MOT at 59,187 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, improving trend. At an average of 3,482 miles per year, the Passat’s mileage is low for a 17‑year‑old model, suggesting periods of limited use or storage; the recorded intervals between tests show steady growth from 47,083 miles in early 2023 to 59,187 miles by early 2026, with no abrupt spikes. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, inspect the exhaust system for rust, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis rails and wheel arches, especially given the single failure entry on 2023‑01‑13 that was subsequently rectified. Overall the Passat presents a clean MOT history with consistent performance, but the low mileage warrants a thorough visual inspection for hidden corrosion and confirmation that any previously flagged faults have been fully resolved before purchase.
