Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the mileage of 104,355, you should prioritise checking the full service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at regular intervals, especially for the 1968cc diesel engine. Negotiate on the price based on the fact that this vehicle has been driven much more intensively than the average Passat of this age.
Pay close attention to the suspension components. The MOT history shows a recurring advisory for the offside rear shock absorber (noted in both 2024 and 2025). You should verify if this has been addressed or if it remains a pending maintenance item. Additionally, the repeated mentions of uneven tyre wear (inner edge wear) suggest possible alignment or suspension geometry issues that should be professionally rectified.
As a 2.0L diesel Euro 6 model, this Passat is likely to be efficient on long-distance journeys, though running costs will be influenced by its high annual mileage. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a diesel saloon of this class.
Insurance groups for this model vary, but the high mileage may affect premiums. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for more frequently due to the wear seen on tyres and suspension components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,800-£2,400 depending on your annual mileage.
Specifically inspect the suspension system. The MOT records for May 2024 and December 2025 both highlight issues with the offside rear shock absorber (misting of oil). Ensure the shocks are not leaking significantly and that the vehicle does not bounce excessively.
Check the condition and alignment of all four tyres. The 2024 MOT recorded inner edge wear on the front and rear tyres, which is a classic sign of incorrect camber or toe settings. Ensure the steering feels straight and that there is no pulling to one side during a test drive. Finally, check the brake components, as high-mileage diesel saloons often require more frequent pad and disc replacements.
This 2019 Volkswagen Passat (WP19GXR) has covered 104,355 miles in approximately seven years, which is significantly higher than the model average of 9,806 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre wear issues and recent advisories regarding shock absorber oil misting. While it has passed its most recent tests, the high mileage and specific maintenance trends should be factored into your valuation.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, tyres, and drive shaft joints.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2019 model year cars.
- MQB Water Pump LeakModerate
Standard MQB issue with warping housings.
- DSG Gearbox Jerk and DelayModerate
The DQ381 7-speed wet-clutch DSG can develop a jerky pull-away, delayed reverse engagement or a hissing noise during gear changes. Software updates help, but worn clutch packs on high-mileage cars may require a full rebuild.
- AdBlue / NOx Sensor FaultsModerate
The 2.0 TDI models with Selective Catalytic Reduction can develop NOx sensor or AdBlue heater faults, triggering a countdown to no-start and persistent warning lights. Sensor contamination from poor-quality AdBlue is a common cause.
