2018 Volkswagen Passat 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · WR18 NMM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 12 November 2025 at 95,726 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just five days prior at 95,559 miles. While the record shows no specific reason for that initial failure, the sequence suggests an administrative error or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. Since November 2022, the vehicle has consistently maintained a clean record without advisories. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between November 2022 at 54,253 miles and November 2024 at 80,398 miles, the car covered 26,145 miles, indicating steady motorway use rather than neglect. The subsequent interval of 15,328 miles over the following year leading up to the 2025 tests maintains this pattern. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and components associated with long periods of standing. Because the MOT record lacks historical advisories for structural corrosion or mechanical wear, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear items that fall outside the standard test parameters. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show fatigue around the 100,000-mile mark. Checking the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for free movement is also prudent. Given the clean history, inspecting for any signs of oil leaks around the engine or gearbox is necessary to ensure the mechanical integrity remains as sound as the documented history suggests.
