2013 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · BJ13 ADV

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 22 August 2025 at 158,330 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its test on the same day, the immediate pass suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage is high for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. There has been a significant increase in usage recently. Between 17 August 2022 and 10 August 2023, the car covered 21,643 miles. This trend continued into 2024, with 20,675 miles added by 23 August 2024. The most recent interval shows a further increase of 20,086 miles over the following year. The absence of advisories or failures across the last four years is unusual for a high-mileage Scirocco. This clean record suggests a proactive approach to maintenance or a very lenient testing regime. However, the high cumulative mileage puts significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components typically degrade at this mileage regardless of MOT outcomes. Check for signs of corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, and verify the condition of the brake discs and pads. Given the consistent high-mileage usage, a full service history check is necessary to confirm that timing belts and water pumps have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals.
