2003 Volkswagen Passat 1.9L Diesel · WV03 SXM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 29 December 2025 at 131,348 miles, but the tester noted slight play in the nearside track rod end ball joint and wear/pitting on the rear brake disc. These advisories mirror faults recorded in the three preceding tests, indicating a stable pattern of minor wear rather than a clear improvement or deterioration. Mileage has risen steadily from 66,206 miles in July 2015 to 131,348 miles in December 2025, averaging about 5,700 miles per year with tests recorded roughly every twelve months. There are no large gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings, suggesting consistent low‑intensity use or occasional standing periods rather than high‑mileage wear. Given the repeated flags, a prospective buyer should examine the front suspension closely – particularly the nearside and offside track rod ends, upper and lower ball joints, coil springs for corrosion, and the constant velocity joint boots for cracking or missing sections. The rear brakes merit attention for disc thickness, pitting and shock absorber condition, while front brake discs, tyre tread depth, wiper blade operation and front brake hose integrity also warrant a hands‑on check.
