2010 Volkswagen Scirocco 1.4L Petrol · LS10 TKZ

The current vehicle is roadworthy, as the most recent MOT test on 2026-02-16 at 137,603 miles passed without defects. However, the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of worsening reliability, particularly concerning the rear suspension and brake systems, suggesting the owner may have been neglecting basic upkeep. Mileage has accumulated steadily over the past four years, reaching 137,603 miles by the 2026 test, which is consistent with a typical 16-year-old model's operating range. The data shows no significant gaps in mileage accumulation; rather, the progression from 113,795 miles in 2024 to 137,603 miles in 2026 suggests consistent, albeit slower, consumption of critical components. This steady wear pattern reinforces the need to address the identified issues immediately rather than waiting for a future inspection. The buyer must inspect the car in person to verify the status of the most critical failures, specifically the rear suspension, brakes, and windscreen wiper blade. The 2026 test flagged a corroded rear suspension arm that is not seriously weakened, but the 2025 test revealed a worn brake pad that is less than 1.5 mm thick, a condition that requires immediate replacement. Additionally, the 2026 test noted a severely corroded nearside suspension arm and a failed windscreen wiper, indicating that the vehicle has suffered from repeated structural and mechanical failures that have not been resolved.
