The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2000-06) 4DR SALOON 2.3 V5 AUTO is a large, four-door family saloon, sitting among established UK alternatives such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra. It offers an understated feel, with a spacious cabin and boot suited to everyday family life. This automatic Passat suits drivers wanting comfortable travel rather than a small city car. Its unusual 2.3-litre V5 engine gives this version a distinctive place in the range, while the automatic gearbox should appeal in traffic. Against rivals, it is known for a mature character and generous space for families. mycarcheck.com records 17 look-ups covering nine distinct VINs, so the figures are a small snapshot: average private-sale value was £500, mileage 125,000, and annual mileage 2,000. The cars averaged nearly four previous keepers. These checks suggest a budget-priced older saloon; condition and service history matter greatly when assessing any individual example.
