2015 Volkswagen Scirocco 1.4L Petrol · K28 DAL

The vehicle presents a stable and positive maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT test on 10 November 2025 at 102,879 miles showing a clean pass with no defects. This follows a consistent three-year trend of passing tests without advisories or failures, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained in recent years. The absence of recorded issues since late 2020 indicates that the previous owner has likely addressed any mechanical or consumable concerns promptly. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,353 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 16,563 miles in January 2018 to the current 102,879 miles. A notable period of higher usage occurred between November 2022 and November 2023, where the odometer increased by nearly 15,000 miles. This steady usage pattern is generally preferable to long periods of inactivity, as it helps prevent component seizure and maintains seal integrity within the drivetrain and braking systems. While the recent history is clean, the 2020 failure at 41,361 miles highlighted issues with tyre tread depth and thin rear brake pads. Although these were resolved, a buyer should still inspect the current condition of the braking system, specifically checking for even pad wear and ensuring the calipers are not binding. The 2019 advisory regarding inner tyre edge wear suggests a potential history of alignment issues. I recommend a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel alignment to ensure no recurring geometry problems exist. The lack of structural corrosion or exhaust emission failures in the records is a positive indicator for the vehicle's long-term integrity. Given the mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the driveshafts and suspension components, which often show wear around the 100,000-mile mark. Overall, the documented history suggests a vehicle that has transitioned from basic consumable maintenance to a period of consistent, defect-free operation.
