2016 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · S16 EAO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 27 May 2026 at 60,912 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a significant failure just one day prior. That failure at 60,904 miles saw the tester flag two critical tyre defects, specifically a nearside front tyre with exposed cords and an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. The fact that the owner addressed these issues immediately to pass the following day suggests a reactive but functional approach to safety-critical maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 35,129 miles and the May 2025 test at 49,791 miles, the car covered 14,662 miles, indicating steady but moderate usage. The recent interval of 11,121 miles over the last year follows this trend. This low annual mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should inspect the front suspension in person, as the edge wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2026 often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. While the rear brake discs were flagged as worn in 2023 at 35,129 miles, a physical check should verify the current pad thickness and check for any caliper sticking. Given the lack of history regarding structural corrosion or rust advisories in the record, the primary focus remains on consumable wear and the integrity of the braking system.
