You can rule in or out the passenger seat by moving the seat base back (if necessary) & then reclining the seatback so that it's pressing against the rear bulkhead. That will at least stop it shaking & might allow you to better identify where the issue originates from.

Check your wheel nuts are all there & that none are loose.

Looks like someone was halfway through trying to borrow one of my rear wheels.
After replacing the 2 missing nuts, things felt better.

are you sticking the passenger seat belt tongue into it's holder in the trim when it's not in use?

Forget the rattle that's caused by the vibration.
Check your rims aren't warped or the tyres flat spotted.

Sounds a bit like wheels are not balanced? Maybe a balancing weight has fallen off perhaps? You could take it to a garage so they can check the balance?
