VOLKSWAGEN SCIROCCO2012 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 October 2025 at 142,096 miles with no defects recorded. While a failure is noted just days prior on 29 September 2025 at 142,075 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a cancelled test result rather than a mechanical failure. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean testing record, indicating a consistent level of maintenance regarding safety and emissions standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,150 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 126,239 miles and October 2025 at 142,096 miles, the car covered 15,857 miles, representing a steady usage rate. The recent jump of 6,457 miles between the September 2024 and October 2025 tests shows the vehicle remains in regular use, which generally helps in keeping seals lubricated and preventing corrosion compared to long periods of standing. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components that do not always trigger an MOT failure. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes for tearing and the coil springs for sagging, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. The brake discs should also be checked for thinning or uneven wear, and the structural integrity should be verified specifically around the sills and wheel arches, where the Scirocco is prone to corrosion despite a clean test record.
