The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2000-06) 4DR SALOON 2.5 V6 TDI is a roomy, four-door diesel saloon, sitting between mainstream family cars and more premium executive models in the UK used market. Its understated styling and generous cabin make it a practical alternative to estate cars or hatchbacks when a traditional boot and comfortable passenger space matter. The 2.5-litre V6 diesel is best suited to drivers covering longer journeys, commuters and families wanting relaxed, substantial transport; it is less compelling for buyers focused on the lowest running costs or city driving. Compared with rivals such as the Ford Mondeo, the Passat is known for a more reserved, upmarket feel, while this V6 offers smooth, confident performance. Mycarcheck.com recorded 66 look-ups across 18 VINs. Checks showed average mileage of 148,000 miles, annual mileage of 5,000, about six previous keepers and £600 average private-sale valuation.
