2017 Volkswagen CC 2.0L Diesel · AE17 VCU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT on 16 October 2025 at 79,714 miles. While the most recent test initially resulted in a failure due to both nearside and offside front tyres falling below the legal tread depth, the subsequent pass indicates these consumables were replaced immediately. The absence of defects in the final pass suggests the vehicle is currently meeting minimum legal standards, though the history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance regarding tyres and brakes. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical driving pattern for a 2017 vehicle. The car has covered approximately 79,714 miles over nine years, averaging roughly 8,857 miles annually. The records show steady progression from 33,064 miles in December 2020 to 79,714 miles in October 2025. There are no significant gaps in mileage that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-use vehicles. A prospective buyer should focus inspections on the braking system and tyre wear patterns. The tester flagged thinning front brake pads in both December 2023 at 59,870 miles and December 2024 at 66,618 miles. The December 2023 advisory also noted inner tyre wear on both front tyres, which often points to geometry issues such as incorrect camber or worn suspension bushes. Given these recurring advisories, a physical check of the front suspension components and wheel alignment is necessary to ensure even tyre wear and prevent premature replacement. Electrical and bodywork items should also be verified. The failure in December 2022 at 52,791 miles highlighted an inoperative boot lid mechanism and faulty rear fog and reversing lamps. While these were resolved for the 2023 test, the buyer should test the boot release and all rear lighting clusters to ensure the electrical connections remain secure. Overall, the vehicle shows a history of addressing failures, but the recurring brake and tyre issues suggest the owner prioritises passing the MOT over scheduled component replacement.
