2017 Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI SE Business 5dr Estate Diesel Manual

Description

So, I’ve got this 2017 Passat SE Business estate — not flashy, but very solid. It’s the one owner model with full VW history, so you know it’s been well looked after. The paint is deep black pearlescent, which catches the light just enough to make it look sharp without being showy. It’s got 18-inch Oxford alloy wheels, LED headlights, and those nice adjustable mirrors — handy if you’re driving with a load or just want to see the road clearly.

The back has an electric tailgate, which is a real life-saver when you’re carrying groceries or a dog carrier and don’t want to fumble with a manual gate. Inside, it’s quiet and comfy — the seats aren’t too stiff, and the cabin feels open and clean. The big touchscreen is easy to use, with navigation, phone connectivity, and music options — I’ve actually used it for everything from Spotify to finding the nearest petrol station.

There’s also a driver-focused display with things like adaptive cruise, speed limiter, and forward collision warning. All of it works quietly in the background, which is nice — you don’t get distracted, just feel safer on long drives.

I bought it from Oldham Volkswagen, which is part of the Swansway Motor Group — a family-run lot with a real knack for helping customers find the right car. They’ve got over 1,000 used VWs in stock, and I was lucky enough to find this one. They also offer finance options, including PCP, and will help you find a car even if it’s not on site.

It’s currently parked on the island of Benbecula, A865 — if you’re in the area or planning a trip, it’s worth a quick check out. The price is £11,241 — fair for what it is, honestly. Just wanted to share it with someone who might actually appreciate how practical and calm this car feels.
