2020 Volkswagen Passat SEL TDI S-A 1.6L Diesel · YC70 NSF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 September 2025 at 58,676 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent clean sheet across three consecutive tests indicates that the vehicle has been well-maintained and that critical safety components are operating within acceptable parameters under the DVSA testing standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2023 test at 28,132 miles and the September 2024 test at 35,237 miles, the car covered 7,105 miles, followed by a significant increase of 23,439 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the 2025 test. This surge in usage suggests regular road use, which is generally preferable for preventing seal degradation and carbon buildup associated with long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT record shows no advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake components, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on consumable wear items that fall outside the MOT scope. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyres and the thickness of the brake pads, given the higher mileage accumulation over the last year. Given the vehicle's age, checking for any minor fluid leaks or the state of the rubber suspension components remains prudent to ensure the mechanical condition matches the pristine digital service history.
