2013 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · DC13 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean result in its most recent inspection. The test conducted in April 2025 at 121,481 miles showed no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in March 2024 at 112,257 miles, the subsequent pass just two weeks later suggests that any identified issues were addressed promptly rather than reflecting a pattern of ongoing mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per annum. The data shows a steady progression from 83,507 miles in July 2021 to over 121,000 miles in 2025. The gap of roughly 14,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates regular use, which helps mitigate the risks associated with long periods of standing that typically lead to seized seals or perished rubber. Given the lack of advisories in the latest two tests, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for the Scirocco at this mileage bracket. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade after the 100,000-mile mark. Checking the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear is also prudent, alongside a visual check for emerging structural corrosion that the MOT tester may not yet flagged as a failure.
