The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2000-06) 4DR SALOON 1.9 TDI 130 HIGHLINE is a roomy, four-door family saloon from the mainstream-to-upmarket end of the UK used-car market. It offers a more traditional boot than a hatchback, with the space and comfort to suit family trips, regular commuting and longer journeys. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,211 checks covering 668 distinct VINs, a substantial sample for this model. The cars checked averaged 154,000 miles, around 9,000 miles a year, and 4.7 previous keepers; average private-sale valuation was £700. These figures describe vehicles checked, not a guarantee about any individual car. The 130 TDI diesel is known for useful pulling power and modest fuel use, making it well suited to covering distance. Highline trim gives it a more comfortable, well-equipped feel, while its understated styling and relaxed road manners make it a sensible alternative to similarly aged Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra saloons for everyday use today.
