The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI SPORT 4MOTION is a roomy, four-door family saloon in the practical mid-size class, alongside the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra. Its diesel engine and four-wheel drive make it a more assured, all-weather choice than an ordinary front-wheel-drive Passat, while Sport trim gives it a purposeful feel. It suits commuters covering regular miles and families wanting generous cabin and boot space for everyday errands or longer trips. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 24 checks across 15 distinct VINs, a modest sample. Those records show an average 143,000 miles and around 11,000 miles driven yearly. Average private-sale valuation is £1,600, and cars in the checks had about five previous keepers, so condition and service history deserve close attention. Against rivals, this Passat stands out for four-wheel-drive traction and long-distance comfort, though running costs and upkeep may exceed simpler saloons.
