2013 Volkswagen CC 2.0L Diesel · ML63 OMU

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT pass on 08 September 2026 showing no defects. The inspection history from 2019 through to 2026 indicates a stable mechanical profile, as the vehicle has passed every annual test without a single failure recorded. While the record is largely clean, there have been isolated instances of minor lighting issues and advisories related to suspension components, though these do not appear to have escalated into failures in subsequent tests. The recorded mileage of 155,524 miles over its thirteen-year lifespan represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 11,963 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving requirements for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-speed motorway transit or heavy commercial use, the drivetrain, suspension, and various rubber consumables will have undergone standard wear cycles consistent with long-term operation. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the suspension system, following the 2020 advisory regarding worn rear inner suspension arm bushes and the 2024 advisory concerning corrosion on the rear shock casing. During a test drive, listen for any dull knocks, clunks, or rhythmic thuds when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate that the bush wear has progressed. Additionally, pay attention to the rear end stability; any excessive bouncing or a feeling of instability after hitting a bump may suggest that the shock absorbers are no longer providing adequate damping. The minor defect regarding the nearside rear registration plate lamp in 2024 should be verified as rectified, though a quick visual check of all exterior lighting is standard practice. Given the advisory for corrosion on the rear shock casings, it is advisable to inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of significant structural oxidation or heavy scaling on mounting points. While the recent clean results are a positive indicator, the history of suspension-related advisories warrants a thorough evaluation of the vehicle's handling and steering precision to ensure no further degradation of the bushings or dampers has occurred.
