The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 TDI DPF 170 SPORT is a roomy diesel family estate, offering a practical alternative to an SUV or large hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among sensible, long-distance load carriers, with estate boot space and a more composed, grown-up feel than many smaller family cars. Mycarcheck.com records 459 checks covering 243 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot of interest in this model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,700 and recorded mileage of 145,000 miles; average annual use is 9,000 miles, with around four previous keepers. These are observed averages, not a promise about any individual car. The 170bhp diesel gives pulling power for trips and loads, while Sport trim adds a purposeful character. It suits busy families, commuters and households alike, and competes with versions of the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra. When buying, check service history and condition.
