The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2014-19) is a roomy family car, available as a practical hatchback or spacious estate. It sits in the UK's large family-car market, offering more space and comfort than a typical hatchback without the bulk of an SUV. With 47,626 mycarcheck.com look-ups and 18,137 different VINs, it is a well-represented used choice. It suits families, company-car drivers and commuters who need generous rear-seat room and a useful boot for school runs, work trips or holidays. The checks show an average most recent mileage of 91,000 miles and around 13,000 miles driven annually, so buyers should compare condition and service history carefully. Recorded cars averaged about two previous keepers. Known for its composed ride, understated styling and quality cabin, the Passat feels more like a polished long-distance companion than a family car. It rivals the Ford Mondeo and Skoda Superb, with mycarcheck.com showing an average private-sale value of £9,800.
