2011 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · AL55 KAY

The vehicle failed its MOT on 2026-03-06 but passed on the subsequent test on 2026-03-09. Despite the immediate pass, the maintenance trend shows some concerning issues, particularly with the nearside front suspension and brake pads, indicating potential ongoing problems that require attention. The vehicle's mileage of 115,453 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 7,697 miles annually, which is within a typical range for its age. Notably, there is a significant gap between the 2024-03-06 test at 108,995 miles and the 2025-02-11 test at 112,107 miles, suggesting the vehicle may have been driven infrequently during this period. The rapid increase in mileage from 112,107 miles to 115,453 miles between the 2025-02-11 and 2026-03-06 tests indicates more frequent use recently, which could accelerate wear on components. Buyers should closely inspect the nearside front suspension for signs of further damage or deterioration, as the levelling valve was noted as damaged or deteriorated in the 2026-03-06 test. Additionally, the brake pads and discs should be thoroughly examined due to the repeated failures and warnings regarding brake thickness and wear. The rear brakes also showed binding issues in the 2025-02-11 test, suggesting potential ongoing problems that need addressing. Tyres, particularly the nearside front and rear, should be checked for any tears, cracks, or excessive wear, as these were flagged in multiple tests. Overall, a comprehensive mechanical inspection focusing on these areas is advisable before purchase.
