2009 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · YF09 AEZ

This Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 146,437 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories or failures for mechanical defects over the last three years. The vehicle has covered 146,437 miles over 17 years, averaging roughly 8,614 miles per year. This is a typical usage pattern for this model. Between 15 June 2023 and 24 June 2025, the car covered 4,943 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is in regular use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps maintain seals and battery health. The absence of recorded defects or advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear. High-mileage Passats often develop corrosion on the chassis or sills, and the lack of MOT flags does not guarantee the absence of superficial or non-critical rust. A physical check of the service history is necessary to confirm oil changes and timing belt intervals. The MOT data confirms the car meets minimum legal standards, but it does not provide evidence of preventative maintenance. Focus on checking for any oil leaks around the engine bay and ensuring the gearbox shifts smoothly, as these are common wear points not always captured in a standard MOT test.
