Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 13 years old and 247,832 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is the B7-generation Passat (2010–2014) commonly fitted with 1.6 or 2.0 TDI engines; the manual diesels are very economical on long runs but are sensitive to short-trip use because of DPF and EGR soot build-up. The manual gearbox is generally robust but clutch wear is a common maintenance item on higher-mileage examples, and you should confirm timing-belt replacement was done to schedule. Parts and independent VW specialists are easy to find in Ireland.
- DPF and regeneration history — watch for frequent DPF warnings or evidence of forced regenerations (common if it’s been used mainly for short trips)
- EGR/charge-pipe soot and turbo oil leaks — look for heavy soot deposits on the inlet or oil in the intercooler
- Clutch operation and wear — test for slipping or judder and ask about clutch replacement history
- Timing-belt service history — ensure the belt (and tensioner/water pump if applicable) was changed to schedule
- Underbody and rear-arch corrosion, plus suspension/arm bushes — inspect sills, lower arches and rear suspension for wear or rust
