Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this specific Scirocco, you should request evidence that the braking system leak noted in the 2024 MOT has been professionally repaired, as ABS pump issues can be costly. Given the 2026 failure regarding brake discs, pads, and the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), ensure these components have been replaced and the TPMS system is fully functional, not just bypassed.
Ask the seller for a detailed service history to see how often the suspension components have been addressed, particularly following the 2024 advisories regarding leaking shock absorbers. Because this is a 1.4L petrol model, check that the turbocharger and cooling system have been maintained, though these are not specifically noted in the MOT failures provided.
The 1395cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it relatively manageable for a performance-styled coupe. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but the 1.4L displacement suggests better efficiency than the larger Scirocco engines.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for fairly high due to the history of suspension (shock absorbers and anti-roll bar linkages) and braking system issues. Expect typical servicing costs for a Volkswagen of this age, but keep a contingency fund for potential suspension or electronic sensor replacements.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. The 2024 MOT recorded misting oil from both front and rear shock absorbers, so check for any signs of fresh leaks or dampness around the struts. You should also inspect the anti-roll bar linkages to ensure the dust covers are intact and no play is felt in the joints.
Regarding the braking system, specifically investigate the area around the ABS pump mentioned in the 2024 failure. Additionally, verify that the front brake discs and pads are relatively new following the July 2026 failure, and use a diagnostic tool to confirm the TPMS is communicating correctly with the dashboard.
This 2015 Volkswagen Scirocco, finished in purple, has covered 79,112 miles as of July 2026. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a failure in 2024 for multiple issues including shock absorbers and a braking system leak, and a failure in 2026 regarding brake wear and the TPMS. The mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 7,448 miles per year.
Aggregate data from over 52,000 vehicles shows a 79.3% MOT pass rate, with common failures involving tyres, suspension arms, and parking brake efficiency.
