The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI CR DPF 170 HIGHLINE PLUS DSG AUTO6 is a roomy four-door family saloon, a traditional alternative to hatchbacks and SUVs. In the UK used-car market, it competes with practical, comfortable family cars, appealing to drivers who need space for passengers and luggage. Mycarcheck.com records show 28 look-ups covering 14 different VINs, so the figures offer a useful snapshot rather than a large survey. Checked cars averaged 147,000 miles and 12,000 miles a year, with about four previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £2,200, useful context when carefully weighing condition and price. With its diesel engine, automatic gearbox and Highline Plus trim, this Passat suits commuting, longer journeys and family duties; it feels well equipped beside mainstream rivals. Its appeal is generous cabin space and progress, but at this age, check service history, gearbox operation and condition carefully before buying.
