2014 Volkswagen Passat 1.6L Diesel · YC64 WFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive repairs. While the most recent test in May 2025 at 120,106 miles identified an advisory for thin rear brake pads, the car passed the inspection without major failures. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record for several years, suggesting that the core structural and mechanical components remained sound during previous inspection cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between February 2022 at 99,914 miles and May 2025 at 120,106 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles at steady intervals. The failure in March 2024 due to a structural tear in the nearside rear tyre appears to be an isolated consumable failure rather than a sign of neglect, as the vehicle passed the subsequent April test without any recorded mechanical defects. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and the lower suspension assembly. The advisory for thin rear brake pads indicates that the vehicle is nearing a service interval for consumables, so checking the remaining thickness of the discs and the condition of the calipers is advisable. Given the previous tyre failure, the buyer should also inspect the sidewalls of the remaining tyres for signs of damage and ensure no other structural issues have developed since reaching the 120,000-mile mark.
