This is a 2008 Volkswagen Passat Variant, likely the 4.0 W8 4Motion version, registered in late 2008. The presence of a valid annual road tax (rovinieta) valid until November 2026 is a strong indicator of a real owner rather than a dealer.
Verdict
This vehicle shows consistent official data confirming it is a 2008 Volkswagen Passat manufactured in Germany, with a valid annual road tax that typically indicates a genuine owner. The main point of attention is the lack of verified mileage data, requiring careful evaluation of the vehicle's condition.

What to watch for
Engine Consistency: Some sources list a 1.9 TDI (1.896L, 105 HP) while others list a 4.0 W8 (3.999L, 275 HP). Physically verify the engine size and power output, as this is a critical discrepancy.
4WD System: The 4Motion system requires regular maintenance of the differential fluid and transfer case to prevent expensive failures.
Suspension: Check for wear in suspension components, as these wagons carry significant weight and age.

Warnings
Data Discrepancy: There is a significant conflict between sources regarding the engine. Aggregated sources (Sursa 6, 11) point to a 1.9L Diesel (1896cc, 77kW/105HP), while Sursa 12 lists a 4.0 W8 Gasoline (3999cc, 275HP). You must verify the actual engine under the hood.
Import Check: The VIN starts with 'W', indicating German manufacture, which is standard for this market. No specific North American import risk is indicated by the VIN prefix.
