2021 Volkswagen Passat 1.5L Petrol · SO71 FTD

The vehicle holds a valid roadworthiness certificate following the most recent inspection on 28 January 2026 at 16,360 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and consistent, with the tester recording zero defects or advisories during this examination. The absence of mechanical failures across the available history suggests the previous owners addressed issues promptly or the vehicle has simply experienced minimal wear. Usage patterns indicate a significant increase in activity over the last twelve months. Between the 4 February 2025 test at 10,217 miles and the January 2026 inspection, the odometer advanced by 6,143 miles. This figure contrasts sharply with the vehicle's earlier life, as the total accumulation of 16,360 miles over five years represents an exceptionally low annual average. The recent surge in mileage suggests the car has transitioned from occasional storage or short trips to regular daily use. While the MOT record is clean, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to degradation from low usage or prolonged standing. Check the condition of perishable rubber items, including suspension bushes and tyres, for age-related cracking or flat-spotting despite the passing tread depth. Verify that the brake discs and pads are free from surface corrosion, which often accumulates on vehicles driven infrequently. The recent jump in mileage warrants a close look at fluid levels and tyre wear patterns to ensure the increased driving load has not induced premature wear.
