2011 Volkswagen Scirocco 1.4L Petrol · LD11 NTJ

The 2025‑10‑11 MOT at 153,938 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the required roadworthiness standards. Since the 2019 failure, each annual test has resulted in a pass, with only minor, non‑critical advisories such as tyre wear, wiper blade replacement, and minor exhaust leakage, suggesting a stable maintenance trend rather than worsening or improving. The recorded mileage of 153,938 miles over roughly 15 years averages about 10,263 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2011 model. The interval between consecutive tests is generally one year, with only a few months separating the 2018‑09‑06 failure and the subsequent 2018‑09‑07 pass, and no extended periods of inactivity evident in the record. Recurring observations include persistent edge wear on the front tyres, indicating possible alignment or suspension issues, and repeated wear of brake discs and pads, especially after the 2019 failure where pads fell below the 1.5 mm threshold. Structural rust on the outer sills has been noted in 2021 and 2022, while the 2023 test flagged a severely deteriorated constant‑velocity joint boot on the near‑side front drive shaft and a front lower oil leak. The 2024 test highlighted binding rear brakes, a minor exhaust leak near the rear box, and a defective wiper blade, all of which merit close inspection. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the front suspension bushes and drive‑shaft boot, verify brake disc thickness and pad wear, assess tyre tread depth and alignment, inspect the sill area for rust penetration, and check the exhaust system for leaks and the rear brake calipers for binding, as these items have repeatedly appeared in the MOT history.
