VOLKSWAGEN SCIROCCO2017 · 1.4L Petrol

The 2017 Volkswagen Scirocco with 78,699 miles passed its most recent MOT on 2025-04-26, with no defects recorded. This follows two failed tests in 2024-03-28 and 2024-04-30, both at 62,949 and 62,970 miles, though no specific defects were noted in those records. The 2023-02-13 test at 50,594 miles also passed without issues. While the latest result is positive, the prior failures without recorded defects suggest potential inconsistencies in testing or unresolved minor issues that may have been rectified. The vehicle’s maintenance trend appears to have stabilised since 2024, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits definitive conclusions. The car’s mileage of 78,699 miles over nine years equates to an average of 8,744 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage. A significant jump from 50,594 miles in 2023 to 62,970 miles by 2024-04 suggests accelerated usage, potentially increasing wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The 2024 tests at near-identical mileages (62,949 and 62,970) raise questions about data accuracy or repeated testing, though the 2025 pass indicates possible resolution of prior issues. The MOT history lacks detailed defect descriptions, making it difficult to assess long-term mechanical trends beyond basic pass/fail outcomes. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as well as checking for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which could indicate unresolved issues from the 2024 failures. Corrosion on exhaust components and structural integrity beneath the chassis should also be evaluated, as these are common concerns for vehicles of this age. While the MOT records show no critical failures in the latest test, the absence of detailed defect data means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s mechanical condition and address any lingering concerns from earlier tests.
