2013 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · FL13 SBO

The 2013 Volkswagen Scirocco presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT pass on 24 September 2025 at 79,917 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared its test without advisories, and the preceding annual examinations show no escalating mechanical concerns. Prior failures in October 2023 and October 2024 were logged with no defects cited, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than latent faults in the car itself. Recorded mileage sits at 79,917 against a 13-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,147 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the October 2023 fail at 61,835 miles and the October 2024 fail at 68,266 miles shows only 6,431 miles covered in a year. From that point to the September 2025 pass at 79,917 miles the car added 11,651 miles over eleven months, a mild acceleration but still within normal private-use bounds. The clean advisory history across all four passes suggests the previous keeper kept consumables and structural items within tolerance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the unexplained failed tests where no defect was recorded. The DVSA entries offer no evidence of corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or binding calipers, yet the twin failures on consecutive days in both 2023 and 2024 warrant verification that the correct vehicle and documentation were presented each time. Confirming the VIN and test certificate references against the physical car will rule out clerical mismatch. No recurring wear pattern emerges from the record to suggest deferred upkeep on tyres, wiper blades, or drivetrain components. The Scirocco's history supports a low-risk purchase subject to standard pre-sale checks on structural integrity and underbody condition for a vehicle of this vintage.
