The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2010-15) 4DR SALOON 1.4 TSI BLUEMOTION TECH SS 160 EU5 EXECUTIVE DSG AUTO7 is a roomy, four-door family and business saloon, rather than a hatchback or SUV. It sits in the UK’s mainstream large-car class, offering a more understated alternative to premium-badged executive models. The 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine gives this Passat pace, while BlueMotion Tech is intended to help reduce fuel use. Its automatic gearbox makes driving easy, and the roomy cabin and boot suit family errands, commuting and business travel. It fits buyers wanting comfort and space without moving up to a larger car. mycarcheck.com recorded nine look-ups across two VINs, so figures are indicative, not a market-wide verdict. The checks show an average private-sale value of £4,100, mileage of 89,000 and 2.4 previous keepers; annual mileage averages 7,000. Like Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia rivals, it offers comfort and polish.
