The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2010-15) 4DR SALOON 1.4 TSI BLUEMOTION TECH SS 122 EU5 SE DSG AUTO7 is a spacious, four-door family saloon, sitting in the mainstream large-car class rather than the hatchback or SUV market. Its understated styling and roomy cabin make it a sensible alternative to a Ford Mondeo or Vauxhall Insignia, with an automatic gearbox adding ease in traffic. It suits families, regular commuters and drivers who want comfortable motorway journeys, generous passenger space and a useful boot. The 1.4-litre petrol engine and seven-speed automatic provide a calmer, straightforward drive, while Bluemotion Tech aims to help reduce fuel use. In mycarcheck.com data, 18 look-ups covered seven distinct cars, so figures offer a guide rather than a market-wide verdict. The average recorded mileage was 133,000, with annual mileage of 13,000 and 3.5 previous keepers on average. The average private-sale valuation was £3,000. Comfort and practicality make this Passat a compelling used-car choice in its class.
