2009 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Petrol · DA58 FCJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 123,554 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This suggests that the current and previous owners are proactive in addressing mechanical wear and ensuring the vehicle meets UK safety and emissions standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,268 miles per year. Between January 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 31,131 miles, showing a steady increase in usage compared to the earlier period where it covered roughly 13,500 miles between 2021 and 2022. The lack of long gaps between tests suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for extended periods, which often helps prevent seal failures and corrosion-related de-gradation common in older engines like this model. Despite the clean digital record, an on-person physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to age-related degradation that do not always trigger an MOT failure. The buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these often show signs of wear before becoming a failure point. Given the mileage, checking the brake lines for perished rubber and inspecting the condition of the brake discs and calipers is also essential to ensure the mechanical integrity matches the clean paperwork history.
