2014 Volkswagen CC 2.0L Diesel · BU14 AWO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension and braking components. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 88,756 miles passed, it only followed a critical structural repair to the rear suspension arms which had caused a failure just two days prior at 88,735 miles. The persistence of advisories across several years, such as worn ball joints and fluctuating brakes, indicates that the owner has historically deferred repairs until they became necessary rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with annual testing intervals, moving from 76,753 miles in November 2022 to 88,756 miles by late 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car was not subjected to heavy stress, but it does highlight age-related degradation, particularly in the recurring issues with perishing rubber and the structural corrosion noted on the metalwork. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear suspension geometry, as the 2025 failure for seriously weakened arms suggests a vulnerability to corrosion in this area. The front lower suspension arms and ball joints have been flagged for wear and play since at least 2022, indicating these components are nearing the end of their functional life. Furthermore, the constant recurring mention of fluctuating front brakes and pitted discs suggests the brake rotors are likely warped or the calipers are sticking, which will require a full replacement of discs and pads to ensure consistent stopping performance.
