Volkswagen Passat For Sale Prices & Depreciation Trend
Used Car Expert recommends that you try to buy after a big drop in depreciation and before the next one, so with the current Volkswagen Passat you would aim to buy a 3 year old and sell it before it is 4 years old.
| Year | £ Average Price | £ Drop | % Depreciation |
| 2012 | £22,835.50 | - | - |
| 2011 | £19,283.00 | £3,552.50 | 15.56 |
| 2010 | £16,192.00 | £3,091.00 | 16.03 |
| 2009 | £12,027.00 | £4,165.00 | 25.72 |
| 2008 | £9,015.00 | £3,012.00 | 25.04 |
Sample Sizes
The depreciation is based on analysis of UK retail prices over 3 years, using new brochure prices, a sample of 1983 cars first registered in 2011, 1318 cars first registered in 2010, 1054 cars first registered in 2009, 3068 cars first registered in 2008.
Petrol Volkswagen Passat cars lose most over the first year (from new to 1 year old), so that is the best ‘nearly new’ buy in terms of car for money.
Diesel Volkswagen Passat cars lose least between years 1 and 3, so this is the best buy if you want to keep the car for a while.
Petrol Volkswagen Passat cars lose least between years 2 and 4, so that is the best buy on older cars.

Used Volkswagen Passat 2005 – Buyer’s Guide
Why buy a Used Volkswagen Passat?
Very sensible, with good handling and a smooth ride. An excellent range of petrol and diesel engines complement a very attractive, if slightly dull, overall package.
The Passat makes a great deal of sense. A good badge guarantees decent re-sale values and the cars are very well made and thought through. The huge estates are rightfully very desirable.
I’ve seen several Used Volkswagen Passat for sale, which should I buy?
The 1.9 and later 2.0 diesel models in estate form are the most desirable. The 2.0 petrols are comparable in price but have 10-15000 miles less on the clock. The 1.6 petrols are close in value to the 1.9 TDI but the mileage tends to be far lower.
The pick of the bunch is an estate 1.9 in SE trim with a manual box. The petrols are not VW's best and are heavy on fuel. The later 2.0 TDI is smoother but not as tough as the 1.9.
Fault Checks for the Volkswagen Passat
I’ve seen a Used Volkswagen Passat for sale, what is a good price?
The Passat holds its value well and, in terms of re-sale, is a very good choice. Expect to pay around £6800 for a five year old 1.9TDi SE with around 60,000 miles showing. This can rise to around just under £20,000 for a year old 2.0 TDi.
The best time to buy is at three years when the first MOT has been issued. After that depreciation is going to be steady on diesel models, very heavy on petrols.
