EU inspection stats for Volkswagen Passat

Based on 70 965 inspections · 2023–2025 · 46.9 % approved · 2.6 % with dangerous defects · 52.8 % with major defects · avg. 205 000 km at inspection

EU inspection findings tie to repair risk and resale value. We publish open PKK figures so you can see part of how Sonja prices cars. Volkswagen Passat has a somewhat higher defect rate in vehicle inspections than average for its age group. Buyers often use this in negotiations, which can make private sales unpredictable and time-consuming. Sonja assesses the full picture, so you know what to expect before you start the process.

In Vestland (inspection venue): 42.2 % approved, 3.1 % with dangerous defects — based on 6 205 inspections.

Grouped by inspection venue county (not home address or registration municipality).

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How many Volkswagen cars are registered in Etne?
According to SSB (2025), 329 Volkswagen cars are registered in Etne (13.8% of local passenger cars). Figures reflect registration municipality.
How much does it cost to use Sonja?
Getting an offer from Sonja costs nothing: valuation, follow-up, and collection are free. We do not charge commission—we buy the car directly from you. The offer applies to the specific car you enter in the form.
How quickly will I get an offer?
You'll receive an offer within 48 hours. After you accept, we arrange pickup and payment. We can collect the car at your address in Etne when it suits you.
What cars does Sonja buy?
We buy most Volkswagen Passat cars when they make sense in the market. We assess year, mileage, and condition for the specific car—submit the form for a concrete offer.
What is the difference from a private sale?
A private sale means listing the car, filtering inquiries—often including low offers from dealers—and having strangers visit your home for viewings. With Sonja you get one concrete offer and one agreed pickup. That applies when selling a Volkswagen in Etne too.
Does Sonja use EU inspection data for the Volkswagen Passat in its assessment?
Yes. We use historical PKK data (periodic vehicle inspection) for the Volkswagen Passat as one of several factors in our offer. It gives us a clearer picture of the model's typical technical condition over time.
Can Sonja collect the car from my home?
Yes. We offer collection at your address across Norway at no extra charge. In Etne we'll agree a time that works for you.
What do I need to do to sell my car?
Enter your registration number and mileage. We pull technical and ownership data from the road authority automatically and send you an offer.
