2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · SX15 ADU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on November 5 2025 at 102,155 miles. While the history shows a consistent pattern of immediate failure followed by a pass the following day, the owner has clearly been proactive in rectifying any defects flagged by the tester. The current lack of any recorded advisories across the last three tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum standard without pending attention. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,287 miles per year. This steady usage aligns with typical national averages for an 11-year-old Passat. The record shows regular intervals of roughly 23,000 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 22,844 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This pattern suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components, seals, and battery health. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as these are the areas most likely to wear on a vehicle of this mileage. Although the MOT record is clean, the age of the car means control arm bushings and shock absorbers may show signs of cracking or leakage despite the recent pass. Given the vehicle's age, checking for corrosion on the rear sills and suspension mounting points is necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound beyond what a standard MOT test covers.
