2019 Volkswagen Passat 1.5L Petrol · YM19 RTO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 26 January 2026 at 36,470 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a three-year streak of clean passes, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and does not suffer from the mechanical degradation or structural corrosion typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,210 miles per year. Between March 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 11,932 miles, suggesting light or short-distance use. The only anomaly in the history occurred on 6 March 2023 at 24,538 miles, where the vehicle failed the initial test before passing on the same day. Since that failure was rectified immediately, the low accumulation of miles since then suggests that wear on drivetrain components and suspension arm bushings should be minimal. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage operation rather than heavy wear. While the record is clean, vehicles that sit for long periods can develop flat spotted tyres or seized brake calipers due to inactivity. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and check the tyres for age-related sidewall cracking despite the lack of heavy usage. Given the lack of structural advisories over the last three tests, the integrity of the chassiswork appears to be in excellent condition.
