2019 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel · YG19 MTP

The most recent MOT on 18 August 2025 at 70,804 miles passed, but the tester flagged the off‑side front tyre as worn close to the legal limit. This follows a failure on 11 August 2025 for the same tyre and a weakened off‑side rear seat‑belt webbing, indicating a modest decline in tyre and restraint condition while the overall roadworthiness remains acceptable. Recorded mileage of 70,804 miles for a 2019 Passat averages about 10,100 miles per year, which is typical for a privately used vehicle. The log shows a steady climb: 29,013 miles in May 2022, 44,669 miles in August 2023, 57,964 miles in July 2024, and 70,804 miles in August 2025. No significant gaps appear, suggesting the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the tyre set. The off‑side front tyre is already at the legal wear limit, and the 2024 record noted slight damage and cracking on both off‑side rear and near‑side rear tyres, pointing to ageing rubber that may need replacement soon. The off‑side rear seat‑belt webbing, flagged as weakened in 2025, should be inspected for fraying or cuts and replaced if necessary. Although no suspension, brake or structural faults were recorded, the mileage level warrants a visual check of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for wear, as well as a thorough test of the braking system to confirm there is no hidden binding or glazing. Confirming the absence of corrosion or exhaust emission issues will complete the assessment.
