2022 Volkswagen Passat R-Line TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · VN71 RFZ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 January 2026 at 20,552 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects recorded, indicating that the car meets all statutory requirements. This consistency across the previous test suggests that the mechanical and structural integrity of the vehicle has not suffered from neglect. The mileage pattern is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,138 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 18,870 miles and the January 2026 test, the car covered only 1,682 miles. This low usage suggests primarily short trips, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to flat-spotting or brake corrosion if the vehicle undergoes long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT history shows no advisories or failures, an in-person inspection should focus on components sensitive to low-mileage use. A buyer should check the tyres for uneven wear or age cracking, as low mileage does not guarantee fresh rubber compounds. The brake discs should be visually examined for surface rust or pitting, and the suspension bushes should be checked for signs of perishing that can occur regardless of low mileage.
