Why have I never seen one of these before? Is it like a Passat estate?
That's exactly right. In Europe they were called the Passat but were referred to the Dasher in NA:
"In North America, the car was called the Volkswagen Dasher.[6] The three- and five-door hatchback and a station wagon model were launched in North America for and during the 1974 model year... In 1978 the Dasher received a facelift along the lines of the European Passat, with quad sealed beam headlights and big polyurethane covered bumpers. The trim was also upgraded and the ride softened."
This is the pre-facelift model. Here are some more photos of Nicks car:
