2013 VOLKSWAGEN SCIROCCO2.0L Diesel

The vehicle is not currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT test on 2026‑01‑07 recorded a failure despite a concurrent pass entry at the same mileage of 112,548 mi. The coexistence of a pass and a fail on the same day signals an unresolved compliance issue, and the pattern of alternating passes and fails over the past three years points to a deteriorating maintenance trend rather than a stable condition. Mileage accumulation shows a consistent rise of roughly 15,600 mi between the December 2023 test (79,742 mi) and the January 2025 test (95,305 mi), followed by another 17,243 mi gain to reach 112,548 mi in January 2026. This equates to an average of about 16,000 mi per year, considerably above the typical 8,600 mi annual figure for a 13‑year‑old vehicle. The test intervals are irregular, with a gap of nearly 12 months between the 2023 and 2025 entries, indicating sparse data coverage. A prospective buyer should inspect the brake system for binding calipers, uneven disc wear and pad condition, as the recent failure may reflect brake‑related deficiencies. Suspension components, especially rear bushes and coil‑spring mounts, merit close examination given the high mileage and the alternating test outcomes. The drivetrain, including the clutch and gearbox mounts, should be checked for excessive wear, and the exhaust and under‑body panels need scrutiny for corrosion. Finally, a thorough visual survey for structural rust around sills and door frames is advisable, as the mileage suggests prolonged exposure to road contaminants.
