The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI SE 4MOTION is a roomy, four-door family saloon in the mid-size class, between mainstream cars and premium executive models. Its understated styling and comfortable cabin make it a sensible used choice for drivers wanting space and refinement, especially families. With its diesel engine and four-wheel drive, this Passat suits longer commutes, motorway travel and family trips, particularly where extra grip is welcome. It feels more assured in poor weather than many front-wheel-drive saloon rivals, and offers a comfortable, practical alternative to sportier executive cars for everyday family journeys. mycarcheck.com has only three look-ups covering two VINs, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a firm market guide. They show an average private-sale valuation of £1,000, recorded mileage of 176,000 miles, annual use of 5,000 miles and around six previous keepers. Check history and condition carefully before buying.
