For sale, advertised on behalf of my father is his 2001 '51' plate VW Passat Sport Estate 1.9 TDi in racing green.This has the more powerful 130bhp variant of Volkswagen’s reliable 1.9 PD engine, which is pulling strongly whilst returning fuel economy of around 52mpg.My father bought the car in June, 2003 from MSM Cars in Nottingham, having been a company car owned for British Aerospace since new. He has just bought a new shape Passat estate, so this car is available for sale. He is a retired teacher and not interested in low offers, part exchanges or canvassers; just to see the car go to a good home.The Passat has full VW service history until more recently when it has been serviced by a German specialist, with over 10k until the next service is due. It has sailed through every MOT, and passed again on Monday at Northgate VW so has a year left to run. The advisory items were all four tyres were getting low, so he had all new tyres fitted.The car looks very smart for it's age, the bodywork is good overall, with minor stonechips and marks around the load areas and wheelarches, as you might expect on a car this age. My father hand washed and polished the car regularly, which shows, he also carried out routine checks and maintenance every weekend. The interior has also been well cared for, with no rips or holes in the seats. It looks neat in charcoal/black and is a pleasant and comfortable environment to spend any time.A towbar was professionally installed by Suffolk Towbars, which he has used to pull a small camping trailer, not for heavy trailers or caravans. The car was used to commute 30 miles round trip to Bury St Edmunds, covering around 16,000 miles per year, and is currently on 134,600. It has been always been garaged since my father owned it.The Sport 130 estates are highly sought after, especially in desirable colours with high specification as this car is, so the price represents excellent value for money and is unlikely to depreciate much further anytime soon.
