2011 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · LB11 DFU

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently stable based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 12 December 2025, which resulted in a pass. However, the history shows a pattern of recurring mechanical issues, particularly concerning suspension components and tyre integrity. The failure recorded on 1 December 2025 highlighted serious concerns, including a seriously weakened offside rear suspension arm, which was subsequently noted again in the December 2025 test. This indicates an ongoing need for attention regarding structural and suspension components rather than a resolving trend. The recorded mileage of 169,709 miles, achieved between November 2023 and December 2025, reflects a consistent and typical annual usage of approximately 11,314 miles per year. The history does not show any sudden spikes in mileage, suggesting predictable wear. However, the accumulation of mileage has coincided with multiple failures related to tyres and suspension, specifically the recurring damage to the nearside rear suspension arm and the exposure of tyre cords. A buyer should inspect the suspension system thoroughly for signs of corrosion or weakness, particularly on the nearside rear and offside rear arms. The history of tyre damage and wear on the edges suggests that the tyres may be approaching the legal limit or require replacement. Furthermore, the failure on 1 December 2025 regarding the parking brake efficiency and inoperative offside rear parking brake requires immediate attention, as these are safety-critical items.
