2004 Volkswagen Passat 1.9L Diesel · YV04 EWG

This Volkswagen Passat presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent test on 14 November 2025 resulted in a pass at 134,446 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's twenty-two year age. Between 24 November 2023 and 14 November 2025, the odometer rose from 114,218 to 134,446 miles. This indicates a steady usage pattern of approximately 10,000 miles per year over the last two years, which is slightly higher than the lifetime average of 6,111 miles per year but remains within expected parameters for a daily driver. The absence of advisories or failures across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. While the record shows no recurring faults with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, the lack of any flagged wear suggests either an exceptionally well-maintained car or a very lenient testing regime. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT record does not explicitly detail. Given the age of the chassis, checking for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pan is essential. You should also verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these critical components are not checked during a standard MOT but are vital for the longevity of this engine.
