Volkswagen Passat 1.4 TSI BlueMotion R-Line DSG

Description

I’ve had this Passat since 2015 and it’s been a solid daily driver — reliable, comfortable, and not too flashy. It’s the 1.4 TSI version with the BlueMotion and R-Line bits, so it’s got that sporty edge without being too aggressive. The automatic transmission works well, especially on the motorway.

It came with a full 12-month MOT when I bought it, so it’s definitely road-ready. The cabin is quiet, and the climate control keeps things nice, even on those long summer drives. I use the dusk sensor a lot — it knows when to turn the headlights on and off, which is a real life-saver.

Bluetooth for phone calls is set up, so I don’t have to fumble with my phone while driving. The seats are still in good shape, and the safety features like pretensioners are all working.

It’s based in Montacute, Somerset, and I’m looking to part ways after a few years of regular use. I’ve only driven it a few hundred miles a year, so it’s been well cared for. The price is £9,445.50 — just a bit more than I expected, but it’s been a good investment.

If you’re looking for a reliable, practical car that’s not too flashy but still gets the job done, this one might be your kind of thing.
