2012 Volkswagen CC 2.0L Diesel · KP62 EXF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative repairs. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 114,719 miles, the car passed after failing due to worn front track rod ends and a recurring issue with the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage, which was noted for slight play. This suggests that while the immediate failures were addressed, the suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life simultaneously. At a recorded mileage of 114,719 miles over 14 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,200 miles per year. This aligns with typical usage patterns for a saloon of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 6,900 miles covered in the preceding year. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for seals and rubber components within the drivetrain and braking system. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking assembly. The history shows recurring issues with suspension arm bushes dating back to 2023, followed by track rod end and anti-roll bar linkage failures in 2025. The 2024 failure is particularly telling, revealing a binding nearside brake and a 39% imbalance across the front axle. The buyer must verify that the calipers have been properly serviced and that the brake discs are not scored or thin from uneven wear. Additionally, the distorted nearside road wheel noted in 2024 should be checked for any vibrations at high speeds to ensure it was replaced rather than merely ignored.
