2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · WF59 AEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 6 November 2025 at 207,619 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to August 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a state of immediate compliance. The mileage is high for a 2009 model, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with the odometer increasing by 6,309 miles between August 2023 and September 2024, and a further 7,208 miles by November 2025. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 3 September 2024 within three miles, though the lack of recorded defects for that failure is unusual and suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage of 207,619 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. The MOT test is a snapshot of safety, not a comprehensive mechanical health check. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these typically degrade under this level of long-term load. Check for any signs of chassis corrosion or structural rust, which often develops on vehicles of this age regardless of MOT outcomes. The drivetrain and clutch should be tested for slip or hesitation, and the brake discs should be inspected for thinning or lip formation. While the records show no recurring faults, the sheer mileage suggests that major consumables are likely nearing the end of their service life.
