2013 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · M5 LMV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on November 7, 2025, at 55,996 miles. The trend shows signs of improvement after a significant failure on that same day, where the tester initially flagged an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light and a fractured offside rear coil spring. Both critical faults were evidently rectified to achieve the pass, suggesting that the current owner is willing to address safety-critical mechanical failures when identified by the tester. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 55,996 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent low usage patterns, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 3,154 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should perform a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically focusing on the rear coil springs that recently failed in late 2025. The previous failure in 2023 regarding a nearside front tyre with edge wear and a structural tear indicates potential alignment issues or poor tyre management, which should be re-checked for uneven wear today. Given the engine management light failure recorded in the most recent test, a diagnostic scan is essential to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the engine control unit that were simply cleared rather than repaired.
