2016 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · JMA 70R

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards mechanical wear-related issues. The most recent test in August 2025 at 66,726 miles identified a worn offside front lower suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not result in a failure due to limited movement, it indicates the beginning of degradation in rubberized components that were previously clear during the vehicle's earlier years of service. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable jump in usage between September 2020 at 14,346 miles and September 2022 at 37,790 miles, where the car covered over 23,000 miles in two years. Since then, the accumulation has returned to a more moderate rate of roughly 9,000 miles annum. This low mileage generally benefits the drivetrain and engine components, despite the instances of neglect noted below. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, specifically checking the lower arms and bushes for further tearing or play. The record shows a history of recurring tyre issues, with advisories or failures for worn edges and legal limits in 2021 and 2024. This pattern suggests either a lack of basic maintenance or an alignment issue that is causing uneven tyre wear. Verify the current tread depth across all four tyres to ensure the previous owner has addressed these recurring points of failure.
