2014 Volkswagen CC 2.0L Diesel · MF64 DCE

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 29 November 2025. While the overall history is generally positive, there is a noticeable trend of increasing wear and tear advisories appearing in the last two years. The transition from clean certificates between 2021 and 2023 to reports of pitted brake discs, leaking shock absorbers, and recurring tyre wear suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where age related component degradation is becoming more apparent. With a recorded mileage of 70,655 miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,888 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average, indicating light usage or periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally implies less drivetrain wear, it often introduces specific risks such as the degradation of rubber components and the potential for brake system stagnation, which aligns with the recorded advisories regarding brake disc pitting. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension. The 2024 advisory regarding pitted and scored brake discs, combined with the low annual mileage, suggests the discs may have suffered from surface corrosion due to standing. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for brake shudder under deceleration. Furthermore, the reported oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber and the previous advisory for a worn offside front suspension bush indicate that the front end is beginning to fatigue. Listen for clunks or knocks when traversing uneven road surfaces, as these are typical symptoms of failing suspension bushes or dampers. The recurring advisories regarding front tyres being worn on the edges suggest a potential alignment issue or a tendency for uneven wear. Inspect the current tyre tread depth and check for irregular wear patterns across the width of the tyre. Given the vehicle age and low usage, it is also critical to inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of mileage. Finally, verify the service history to ensure that fluids, particularly the engine oil and brake fluid, have been changed based on time intervals rather than mileage alone, and check the 12V battery health to ensure it has not been compromised by periods of inactivity.
