2011 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · FD11 RNX

The 2025‑10‑20 MOT at 108,895 miles passed with no defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets the minimum roadworthiness standards. The preceding 2025‑10‑15 test revealed a leaking near‑side front hydraulic brake caliper, pads below 1.5 mm, and a non‑functional near‑side front headlamp, but the recent pass shows an improvement in overall condition. Mileage has risen from 58,515 at the 2018 test to 108,895 now, an increase of 50,380 miles over eight years, averaging about 7,260 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2011 model. Recurring issues include worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both sides, persistent coil spring corrosion, brake caliper leakage, and pad wear below the 1.5 mm threshold; earlier records also note severely weakened rear brake discs, structural rust on springs, and headlamp failures, all of which merit close inspection. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension bushes and arms for play, inspect coil springs for rust or fatigue, verify brake caliper integrity and pad thickness, assess disc condition, and look for any structural rust on the chassis, as the pattern of recurring faults suggests the vehicle may require attention beyond the recent MOT pass.
