2013 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0L Petrol · RY54 ADS

The Volkswagen Scirocco passed its most recent MOT on 24 July 2025 at 79,170 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle passing consistently after minor pre-test rectification, suggesting previous owners addressed issues promptly rather than allowing them to deteriorate. At roughly 6,090 miles per year over 13 years, the mileage is typical for this age, indicating regular but not excessive use. The record shows a clean pattern with no advisories across five tests, though the July 2025 failure at 79,169 miles followed immediately by a pass the next day suggests a minor issue resolved quickly. No rapid mileage accumulation or concerning gaps appear in the history. Given the clean record, focus inspection on high-mileage wear items typical of the Scirocco's age and mileage. Check the front suspension struts and rear torsion beam bushings for cracking or excessive play, as these can develop without triggering dashboard warnings. Inspect brake discs and pads for uneven wear, particularly if the recent failure involved binding calipers. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion at joint points and verify all lights, including the rear light clusters prone to water ingress. Test the DSG transmission for smooth shifting under load, as the dry clutch unit can show wear at this mileage.
