Used Volkswagen Passat inspection before you buy

There is no such thing as a faultless used car, and a Volkswagen Passat is no exception - the key is knowing where the costly problems usually hide. On a turbo-diesel Volkswagen Passat we listen for injector knock and watch for the blue or black smoke that points to worn injectors or a failing turbo - both expensive to put right. With the petrol engines we also check the spark plugs, coils and the breathing side - air filter, intake and any vacuum leaks - since these cause the rough running buyers often mistake for something worse. As an everyday car its wear is usually predictable - clutch and gearbox feel, suspension bushes, and the urban knocks, kerbed wheels and parking scrapes that accumulate over the years. On Volkswagen Group cars like this the familiar points are the timing components, the DSG dual-clutch gearbox where fitted, and the water pump and thermostat - otherwise the mechanicals are generally sound when serviced. Either way, you walk away knowing the Volkswagen Passat's real condition - and if it checks out, you can buy it with genuine confidence rather than guesswork.

Whatever you typed into the search box, the work is the same and so is the standard. Tell us where the car is and we'll arrange it.

We connect a diagnostic scanner to read both stored and live fault codes on the Volkswagen Passat, including faults the dashboard never displays.

If a seller has cleared the codes just before the viewing, that often shows up too.
