2018 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Diesel · OF67 SEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in May 2025 at 63,768 miles passed, it revealed an advisory for an offside rear inner tyre worn near the legal limit. This follows a significant failure in April 2024 where multiple mechanical and electrical defects were identified. The overall status suggests that the owner addresses faults only once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 63,768 miles over eight years, the car averages approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing between 2022 and 2025, with a notable gap of 10,667 miles recorded between the April 2024 and May 2025 tests. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly to keep drivetrain and suspension components moving, though the low mileage does not exempt the car from natural degradation of rubber components or age-related corrosion. A buyer must specifically inspect the rear braking assembly and suspension geometry. The 2024 failure highlighted a binding offside rear brake and a pitted disc, which often indicates a seized caliper piston or lack of regular cleaning. The uneven wear on the inner tyre edge noted in the 2025 advisory suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require verification to prevent premature tyre failure. Additionally, check the offside rear lamp for moisture ingress, as this was a previous failure point, and ensure the headlamp aim is correctly adjusted following the previous failure.
