The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 TDI CR DPF 110 S is a roomy, mid-size family estate, offering more load space than a saloon without the bulk of an SUV. In the UK used-car market, it appeals to buyers wanting practical, long-distance transport at an accessible price for families. mycarcheck.com has recorded 150 look-ups across 88 distinct VINs, a useful sample of buyer interest. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,600, typical recorded mileage of 156,000 miles and annual use of 8,000 miles; vehicles had about 2.8 previous keepers on average. These figures describe checked examples, not guarantees alone. With a diesel engine, generous boot and comfortable cabin, this Passat suits families, tradespeople and commuters carrying luggage or equipment. It is best for steady journeys; its particulate filter makes frequent short trips less ideal. Compared with the Ford Mondeo estate, it is known for understated refinement and useful space.
