The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI S DPF is a roomy, traditional four-door family saloon in the UK’s popular large-car class. It offers a separate boot and a more formal shape than a hatchback, with understated styling and the practical, comfortable character for which Passats are known today. Mycarcheck.com records are limited: four look-ups covered three distinct VINs, so they offer only a small snapshot, not a reliable measure of the whole model. Within that sample, average recorded mileage was 113,000, annual use 9,000 miles, and owners had averaged 3.75 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £1,300. This diesel Passat suits commuters and families wanting space, a generous boot and motorway journeys; its efficient engine and S trim make it a sensible choice. Against Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra rivals, it is known for a solid, grown-up feel, but condition and service history matter at this age.
