Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
Given the high mileage of over 170,000 miles, any potential buyer should prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection. Focus heavily on the suspension and drivetrain, as the MOT history specifically notes failures regarding fractured coil springs and deteriorated CV boots. You should also ask for evidence of recent work to address the headlamp reflector and wheel distortion issues noted in the 2023 records.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the recent history of component wear. It is essential to verify the service history to ensure that the 2.0L diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, as high-mileage Volkswagen diesel engines are sensitive to oil quality and timing belt intervals. Do not assume the car is ready for long journeys without a professional inspection of the suspension and steering components.
The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, but running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and mileage. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a large diesel saloon, though maintenance costs may rise as components like suspension and drive shafts reach the end of their service life.
Insurance groups for the Volkswagen CC vary depending on the specific trim, but the 2.0L engine typically sits in a mid-range bracket. Tax and maintenance will likely be higher than a smaller hatchback due to the larger engine size and the cost of parts for this specific model. An estimated annual running cost is provided below.
You must specifically inspect the front suspension system. The 2023 MOT failure included a fractured nearside front coil spring and a damaged upper coil spring mounting, which are significant safety concerns. Check for any signs of knocking or uneven tyre wear that could indicate ongoing suspension issues.
Additionally, examine the drive shafts and CV boots. The records show a recurring issue with the offside front outer drive shaft joint CV boot being severely deteriorated or split. Finally, check the condition of the wheels for any signs of distortion, as the 2023 MOT noted a slightly distorted offside rear road wheel.
This 2014 grey Volkswagen CC has covered 170,917 miles since its first registration in November 2014, which is significantly higher than average for its age. The MOT history reveals several failures, including issues with coil springs, CV boots, and tyres. While it passed its most recent test in October 2023, the frequency of advisories and failures indicates a vehicle that requires regular maintenance attention.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Volkswagen CC to provide a comparative model reputation.
