Verdict
Break familial de 690 litres de coffre (version non hybride), noté 5 étoiles à l'Euro NCAP. Voiture récente : les retours publiés sont encore rares (un seul site) et signalent surtout des freinages d'urgence intempestifs du Front Assist. À essayer longuement avant d'acheter.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution
- Insurance: average for a closely related model (other generation or same platform).
- Maintenance: servicing prices only, without tyres or brakes: probably underestimated.
- Depreciation estimated at 12% of the median price a year, as no year-by-year valuation is usable.

1.5 eTSI 150 DSG7 version: combined consumption of 5.4 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.14 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.
5.4 × 1.15 × 2.14 € × 10 = €133

Inspection checklist
Volkswagen Passat B9 — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Essayer le Front Assist en circulation : freinage intempestif, alertes sans raison.
- Faire vérifier chez un concessionnaire VW les rappels et mises à jour logicielles faites.
- Hybride rechargeable : se faire montrer la charge et l'autonomie électrique réelle (le coffre y est plus petit).
- Contrôler l'historique d'entretien et la garantie constructeur restante.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le Front Assist a-t-il déjà fait l'objet d'une réclamation ou d'une mise à jour ?
- Quelle garantie constructeur reste-t-il ?
- Quel est l'historique d'entretien et y a-t-il eu des rappels effectués ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
Electric or hybrid equivalent
No direct electric or hybrid equivalent in our guides. Simulate combustion vs electric cost
