2007 Volkswagen Passat SE TDI 140 2.0L Heavy oil · WN07 AAV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 13 February 2026 at 161 226 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend is stable; every test since April 2022 has returned a pass and no fault entries, indicating consistent care by previous owners. Mileage accumulation between tests has been modest: from 147 031 miles in April 2022 to 151 602 miles in May 2023 (+4 571 miles), to 156 652 miles in October 2024 (+5 050 miles), and finally to 161 226 miles in February 2026 (+4 574 miles). The intervals between tests range from 13 to 17 months, fitting the standard MOT cycle, and the record shows no gaps or missed renewals. The overall mileage growth of roughly 14 000 miles over four years equates to about 3 500 miles per year, well below the typical 8 500 miles per year for a 19‑year‑old car, suggesting lighter use. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, the brake discs and pads for corrosion or uneven wear, and the exhaust system for rust. Visual checks of the underbody, wheel arches and chassis are advisable to assess structural corrosion, which can develop unnoticed between MOTs. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition should also be examined, as these consumables are not always highlighted in MOT advisories but are critical for safety and performance. If any of these components show significant degradation, remedial work may be required before the next MOT. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the recorded passes.
