2015 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Petrol · RD55 BEZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean inspections to reactive repairs. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 77,521 miles, the tester flagged thin front brake pads along with pitting and scoring on both the nearside and offside front brake discs. While the car passed the test, these advisories indicate the braking system is reaching the end of its service life, contrasting with the clean records seen in previous years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable period of activity between April 2024 and October 2025, where the vehicle covered over 13,000 miles in eighteen months. The failure in April 2024 at 61,215 miles due to a cut tyre on the offside front and inner-edge wear on the nearside front suggests that while the car is not driven excessively, the previous owner may have only addressed tyre issues when prompted by an MOT failure rather than following a preventative schedule. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking assembly to determine if the pitting on the discs is superficial or indicative of deep corrosion. Given the 2025 advisories, a full replacement of front discs and pads is likely imminent. The previous inner-edge tyre wear noted in 2024 warrants a check of the front suspension bushes and alignment to ensure that geometry is not causing uneven scrubbing. No structural corrosion has been recorded to date, suggesting the focus remains on consumable wear and mechanical components.
