Depreciation Insights
One of the key factors any buyer or seller must consider is how quickly a vehicle loses its value. The Volkswagen Passat depreciation curve follows a relatively smooth decline over the first few years:
- First year: typically loses 15‑20% of its original value
- Second to third year: another 8‑12% depreciation per year
- After five years: cumulative depreciation of about 45‑55% from the initial purchase price
- Seller’s market: individual cars tend to stay within the 10‑25% range of the original transaction price, factoring in mileage and maintenance records
