The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI CR 170 DPF SEL is a roomy, four-door family saloon from Volkswagen’s popular used-car range. It sits among practical, larger family cars, offering a more traditional boot than a hatchback and a comfortable choice for longer journeys. In the UK, it has long appealed to drivers wanting space and refinement without moving up to a premium badge. Mycarcheck.com recorded 54 look-ups for this version, covering 43 distinct VINs, offering a snapshot rather than a complete picture of every car. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,600 and average most recent recorded mileage of 173,000 miles; average annual use was 8,000 miles, with 3.7 previous keepers. These figures underline the importance of checking each car’s history and condition. Strong diesel suits commuters and families covering distance; SEL trim adds comfort, and its roomy, composed character competes well with Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia.
