2013 Volkswagen CC 2.0L Diesel · YP63 NFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in mechanical integrity regarding the suspension. While it passed its most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 161,696 miles, it had failed that same day due to multiple suspension defects. The transition from a minor washer fluid issue to several structural failures in the rear axle indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where wear-and-tear components are requiring urgent replacement. At 161,696 miles, this 13-year-old Volkswagen has covered an average of approximately 12,400 miles per year. The record shows a significant surge of 15,923 miles between September 2023 and October 2024, followed by another 18,897 miles in the following year. This high-mileage usage places consistent strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, which explains the progression from the pitted brake discs noted in 2022 to the accelerated bushing wear observed in 2025. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the rear suspension geometry. The September 2025 test flagged both the inner and outer trail arm bushes as worn, alongside corrosion on the coil springs and suspension arms. Although the tester noted the corrosion was not yet seriously weakened, the presence of oil on the nearside rear shock absorber suggests a seal is beginning to fail. You should check for deep structural rust on the mounting points to ensure the corrosion has not progressed into a structural failure that would fail the next MOT.
