2010 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · MX10 XAH

The 2023‑03‑25 MOT at 106,140 miles passed the vehicle, but recorded rear brake pad wear thin and front headlamp aim too low, resulting in advisory defects. Since the 2020 test, where rear and front coil springs were noted as fractured, the car has shown recurring mechanical faults, indicating a deteriorating maintenance pattern rather than improvement. The odometer has risen from 35,549 miles in May 2014 to 106,140 miles in March 2023, averaging about 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 16‑year‑old car. The jump from 65,585 miles in May 2020 to 88,566 miles in May 2021 represents a 23,000‑mile increase in a single year, suggesting intensive use or extended periods of inactivity that may have accelerated wear on suspension and braking components. A buyer should examine the rear coil springs and associated suspension bushes for signs of fatigue or repair, verify the condition of the rear brake pads and discs, and check the front headlamp alignment and wiring for the previously flagged aim defect. Inspect all four tyres for tread depth and side‑wall damage, as the record shows repeated wear near the legal limit and a cut on the offside front tyre in 2014; look for structural rust on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches where coil spring failures occurred, and confirm that the exhaust system meets emission standards and shows no corrosion that could compromise structural integrity.
