The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI CR 140 DPF SPORT DSG AUTO is a roomy, four-door family saloon, aimed at buyers wanting more space and comfort than a small hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical, upmarket-feeling family cars, competing with models such as the Ford Mondeo and Toyota Avensis. Mycarcheck.com checks recorded 21 look-ups covering 13 different VINs, so the sample offers a useful snapshot but remains limited. The average private-sale valuation was £1,500, with average recorded mileage of 155,000 miles and annual mileage of 7,000. Vehicles had an average of about five previous keepers, worth checking against each car’s history. With its 140-horsepower diesel engine and automatic gearbox, it suits commuting and family journeys, offering relaxed travel, a generous cabin and boot. Sport trim adds a purposeful feel. As with any older diesel, check maintenance and emissions equipment, if used mainly for short trips.
