Why buy a used Volkswagen Passat?
The Volkswagen Passat might not be a car you'll lust after, but its effortless blend of space and refinement make it a very easy car to live with. Controls are straightforward and the infotainment system is easy to navigate once you've used it a few times. It's supremely calm on the road, with a little more compliance than VW's smaller cars, while still feeling composed and secure. Recent plug-in-hybrid models can save you a bundle on running costs if you can charge at home.

Owning a used Volkswagen Passat
One of the biggest benefits of the Passat is that you're getting a family-sized car without the price jump you'd expect to find with an SUV like the Volkswagen Tiguan. There's lots of space in the second row for tall adults or bulky child seats, and estate models in particular are excellent at carrying cargo. There's a choice of TSI petrol engines, which are well-suited to mixed motoring, or long-range TDI diesels that are perfect for high-mileage drivers. Newer plug-in-hybrid models blend the best of electricity and engine power depending on the driving situation. Read our full Volkswagen Passat review.

There's not exactly a world of choice in the Passat's class. Consider cross-shopping it against cars like the Ford Mondeo, Peugeot 508, Mazda 6 or Skoda Superb. You could also look to the Volkswagen Arteon, which drapes more dramatic bodywork over the Passat's mechanicals.

Volkswagen Passat FAQs
You'll find two versions of the Passat on sale. There's the four-door saloon, with five seats and a fixed rear window – this model was discontinued for 2022. For more practicality, there's the Passat Estate – a five-door, five-seat alternative with a hatchback bootlid.
You can also find the mechanically similar Volkswagen Arteon, which replaced the old Passat CC. This is a four-door coupe with more dramatic looks than the Passat.
The Passat might be one of the larger cars Volkswagen sells but it's not so big that it feels unwieldy when driving in the city. It's a little less than 4.8 metres long, which means it's shorter than the Ford Mondeo and a little longer than a BMW 3 Series. It's also within a few millimetres of the Peugeot 508.
Those dimensions translate into a large cabin, with lots of space for four adult passengers to stretch out in the Passat. The saloon's boot is big but the Estate version is even more practical with a larger cargo area and a wider boot opening.
There aren't any weak engines in the Passat's lineup, but we think most buyers will be best suited by either the 150hp 1.5-litre petrol or the 150hp 2.0-litre diesel – choosing the latter if they're a high-mileage driver. The plug-in hybrid and BiTDI are noticeably punchier but cost quite a bit more to buy.
Yes. In fact, the Passat is a really good car, scoring highly in most areas – it's practical, refined, comfortable, easy to drive, and well equipped. With lots of family buyers heading over to the SUV aisle, it's easy to forget how many talents traditional saloon and estate models like these have.
Both Volkswagen and the Passat have generally scored in the middle of the table across several reliability surveys. The engines and many other parts are widely shared between VW-Group brands but, with lots of on-board features, there are usually more potential points of failure.
Add an extended warranty to your Passat purchase for greater peace of mind against unexpected repair costs.
2.0-litre diesel versions of the Passat can generally tow a braked trailer weighing up to two tonnes. So, if your caravan is lighter than this, the Passat should be able to handle it.
Volkswagen is a mass-market brand but is positioned towards the more premium end of the scale. That means you can expect slightly higher costs for replacement parts and maintenance than some more affordable manufacturers. Despite this, costs should be more manageable than upmarket VW-Group companies such as Audi.
The Passat is a reasonably efficient car for its size. You can expect more than 30mpg from the petrol engines, while diesel versions can return more than 50mpg if you drive with a light right foot.
For ultimate efficiency, the 1.4-litre plug-in hybrid can achieve more than 200mpg if you make optimal use of both power sources.
