2017 VOLKSWAGEN SCIROCCO1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent test in January 2026 at 55,125 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the 2023 test highlighted several consumable wear items, the subsequent two clean tests suggest a proactive approach to maintaining safety-critical components. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage usage profile, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between May 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 15,360 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of stagnation. This low mileage generally places less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the gap of 4,452 miles between the 2025 and January 2026 tests shows the vehicle is driven primarily for shorter trips. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and tyres based on the 2023 failures. The tester previously flagged thin front inner brake pads and perishing rubber on both the nearside rear and offside rear tyres. While these were replaced to pass later tests, a buyer should verify the current thickness of the pad material and check for sidewall cracking on the tyres, as low-mileage rubber can age and dry out. The 2023 report of a damaged offside upper windscreen should also be checked to ensure no chips have developed into structural cracks since that entry.
