The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2000-06) 4DR SALOON 1.9 TDI 130 SE TIP AUTO is a roomy, four-door family saloon from Volkswagen’s established mid-size range. It sits between compact family cars and larger executive models, offering a practical alternative to the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra. Its understated styling suits everyday use. In mycarcheck.com records, this version attracted 90 look-ups covering 44 different VINs, a useful sample of used-car interest. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 152,000 miles and about 8,000 miles driven yearly; cars had around 4.8 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation recorded was £600 in those checks overall. The 1.9 TDI diesel and automatic gearbox make it a relaxed choice for regular commuting, longer journeys and family duties, with useful cabin and boot space. It suits buyers seeking a comfortable older saloon, not a sporty drive. Compared with rivals, its diesel reputation and roomy feel remain key attractions.
