Asking prices from public DoneDeal listings, not sale prices. Model years with fewer than three listings are left out. “Value kept” is measured against the newest model year with three or more listings (2026).
What the Volkswagen Passat figures say
The biggest single step down is into 2010: the median asks 57.4% less than the model year above it, on 6 listings.
It is down to half its 2026 asking price by the 2022 model year, 4 years of age.
At about 17.8% a year it falls faster than the typical model tracked here, which loses 14% a year.
Volkswagen Passat depreciation: common questions
How much does a Volkswagen Passat lose in a year?
About 17.8% of its asking price a year, fitted across the 18 model years with three or more DoneDeal listings (R² 0.96). That is an average over the whole curve: the first years fall harder than the later ones, which is what the value-kept column above shows year by year.
What does a five-year-old Volkswagen Passat cost in Ireland?
The median asking price of a 2021 Volkswagen Passat on DoneDeal is €22,950, across 16 listings, or 39% of what the 2026 model year asks.
When does a Volkswagen Passat stop losing value quickly?
Around year 15. After that the year-on-year drop stays under 10%, measured over 17 listings at that age. Buying past that point is where the depreciation curve stops doing most of the work.
Where do these Volkswagen Passat figures come from?
From 331 public DoneDeal listings recorded by DD Price Tracker, grouped by model year. They are asking prices, not sale prices: what sellers want for the car, which is the number a buyer negotiates down from. Nothing about a seller is stored.
