The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI CR 110 S is a roomy, four-door family saloon, positioned as a sensible step up from smaller hatchbacks rather than a city car or SUV. Its understated styling and generous cabin make it a familiar choice in the UK used-car market, competing with the Ford Mondeo, Toyota Avensis and Vauxhall Vectra. With a diesel engine tuned for everyday economy and relaxed motorway journeys, it suits commuters, growing families and drivers who value boot space and comfortable long-distance travel. The 110 S is a straightforward, practical version: less about flashy extras and more about useful space, calm road manners and affordable used-car motoring. Compared with rivals, the Passat is known for its solid feel and restrained, businesslike character. mycarcheck.com records 78 checks across 56 distinct VINs; cars average 140,000 miles, 9,000 miles yearly, three previous keepers and a £1,500 private-sale valuation for this model.
