2013 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · DV63 FBC

The MOT history for this 2013 Volkswagen Scirocco indicates a generally well-maintained vehicle with recent concerns regarding consumable components. In the most recent test on February 2024 at 53,626 miles, the vehicle failed initially due to both the offside and nearside windscreen wipers failing to clear the glass. Additionally, the inspection noted excessive rear brake fluctuation, thin front brake pads, and worn rear brake discs. While the vehicle passed the re-test following these repairs, these findings suggest that the braking system and wipers are reaching the end of their functional service life. The vehicle's mileage profile is significantly low for its age, averaging approximately 4,125 miles per year over 13 years. This low usage often results in less wear on the engine and suspension, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber components if the car sits stationary for extended periods. Between February 2021 at 28,377 miles and February 2022 at 39,150 miles, the car covered over 10,000 miles with no recorded defects, showing a period of consistent operation. However, the drop in mileage between the 2022 and 2023 tests suggests the vehicle may have been used sparingly in more recent years. A pattern of consumable wear is evident leading up to the 2024 failure. In the February 2023 test at 47,267 miles, the inspector noted thin front pads and worn, pitted rear discs that were not yet structurally compromised. Since no structural corrosion or major emissions failures have been recorded across the multi-year history, the chassis integrity appears sound. A buyer should verify the current state of the braking system and suspension bushes to ensure that the repairs made after the 2024 failure remain effective and that no new mechanical issues have developed.
