The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI CR DPF 140 R LINE DSG AUTO6 is a roomy family saloon, a comfortable alternative to a hatchback for buyers wanting space for passengers and luggage without moving to an SUV. In the UK market, it sits among practical executive-style cars. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 378 look-ups across 131 different VINs, giving a snapshot of cars checked. The average private-sale valuation is £2,100, with average latest recorded mileage of 125,000 miles and annual mileage of 10,000. Checks show about five previous keepers on average, so reviewing each car’s history is especially worthwhile. The 140-horsepower diesel, automatic and R-Line’s sportier look give this Passat a blend of relaxed cruising and sharper styling. It suits commuting, motorway trips and family duties, competing with Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia for comfort and practicality. Expect a substantial, well-equipped feel, but check condition and service history carefully.
