The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2010-15) 4DR SALOON 1.8 TSI 160 EU5 S DSG AUTO7 is a roomy, four-door family saloon, offering a traditional alternative to a hatchback or SUV. In the UK used-car market, Passats are known as sensible, comfortable choices for covering distance, with a smart, understated look and a generous cabin and boot. The mycarcheck.com snapshot is small: four checks covered two distinct VINs, so its figures are indicators rather than a full-market picture. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £2,800, 166,000 miles and 15,000 miles driven annually; the average previous-keeper figure was 0.5. Check each car’s history and condition carefully. This 1.8-litre petrol Passat combines performance with a smooth automatic, suiting commuters and families seeking relaxed motorway travel and everyday space. Against Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia rivals, it is known for a solid, comfortable feel, but buyers should check service history and running costs.
