The data for this 2009 Volkswagen Passat presents significant contradictions regarding its technical specifications, particularly between official records and aggregated market data. While the VIN and official sources confirm it as a German-made vehicle, there is a major discrepancy in engine and body type details that requires immediate physical verification by the buyer.
Verdict
The vehicle identification is consistent (Volkswagen Passat, 2009, Germany), but technical data is conflicting. The official records point to a standard diesel configuration, while aggregated sources suggest a more powerful V6 SUV variant. You must verify the actual engine and body type in person before purchasing.

*Note on Specifications:* There is a significant mismatch in the data. Official sources (NHTSA) and aggregated sources 1, 3, 5, and 9 describe a standard 1.9 TDI engine (1968 cc, 103 hp). However, Source 10 describes a Touareg V6 TDi (2966 cc, 221 hp, 4WD, Automatic, SUV). Given the VIN starts with WVW (Volkswagen Germany) and the Make/Model is consistently Passat, the 1.9 TDI specifications are more likely for a Passat, but Source 10's data for a V6 SUV is highly anomalous for this model. Physical inspection is mandatory to determine the true engine and drivetrain.
Registration
First registration: 2009-01-05
Country of manufacture: Germany (deduced from VIN prefix WVW and confirmed by NHTSA)
Mileage (estimate)
No verified mileage value was found in the official records. Based on the vehicle's age (2009), an estimated mileage of approximately 217,000 to 294,000 km is suggested (±15% around the reference estimate), but this is not a verified reading.

What to watch for
Verify Engine and Power: The data split between a 1.9 TDI (103 hp) and a V6 TDi (221 hp) is critical. Check the engine bay and registration documents to confirm the actual engine code and power output.
Check Drivetrain: Confirm if the vehicle is Front-Wheel Drive (standard for Passat) or 4WD (suggested by Source 10). Inspect the rear differential and drive shafts if 4WD is claimed.
Body Type Confirmation: Ensure the vehicle is a sedan/wagon (Passat) and not misidentified as an SUV.
Service History: For a 2009 diesel, verify the condition of the timing belt/chain and DPF/EGR systems, which are common wear items for this generation.

Warnings
Data Discrepancy: There are significant contradictions between sources regarding the engine type, power, transmission, and drivetrain. Source 10 lists a V6 TDi SUV, while other sources list a 1.9 TDI. This is a major red flag that requires immediate clarification.
Import Risk: The VIN starts with "WVW," indicating German manufacture. If this vehicle was imported from outside the EU/EEA, verify its compliance with local regulations, although the VIN suggests a European origin.
Mileage: No verified odometer reading is available. Relying on the age-based estimate is risky; a physical inspection of the odometer and wear indicators is essential.
