2009 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Petrol · AH51 RAN

The 2009 Volkswagen Scirocco presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 156,826 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following the 17 July 2024 pass at 147,450 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards over the last three years. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,225 miles against the car's 17-year life, a typical use pattern for this age of vehicle. The records show a clean run from 1 November 2021 at 141,393 miles through to the 2025 test, with only 15,433 miles added across four years. A notable gap exists between the November 2021 and July 2024 entries, with no test logged for 2023; the car was then tested in July 2024 rather than November, suggesting the owner shifted the test cycle by several months rather than the vehicle being off the road. The 1 November 2021 test shows a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage of 141,393, with no defects listed on either. This points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, likely a documentation or presentational issue at the testing station. No corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake binding, or exhaust emission failures appear anywhere in the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age and 156,826 miles, as MOT passes with no advisories do not capture incipient rust or worn coil springs. Verify the shift in test timing did not mask a period of disuse, and confirm service history to support the low annual mileage. The clean record implies reasonable upkeep, but age-related consumable degradation remains a risk on a 17-year-old Scirocco.
