2014 Volkswagen CC 2.0L Diesel · J21 MAH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed the test in March 2026 at 72,700 miles, it failed a test just four days prior due to multiple electrical and mechanical defects. The transition from a clean record in late 2024 to a multi-point failure in early 2026 suggests that the owner is now only addressing faults when strictly necessary to pass the annual inspection. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 13,320 miles between November 2024 and March 2026, which represents a significant spike in usage compared to previous years. This relatively low annual mileage generally puts less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but the presence of worn rubber-based components and tyres noted in the 2022 test at 43,144 miles indicates that the car may suffer from age-related degradation or dry rot despite the low distance traveled. A buyer must specifically inspect the front braking system, as the March 2026 record flagged pitted and scored discs on both sides. While they passed, the presence of pitting suggests long periods of sitting or environmental corrosion, which will eventually affect braking braking performance. The recorded oil leak noted in the March 2026 test requires a close visual inspection to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a more significant seal failure that could worsen. Given the previous electrical failures regarding headlamp aim and repeaters, a thorough check of the wiring loom and bulb housings is advised to ensure no further intermittent issues exist.
