Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2013 Volkswagen Cc GT Bluemotion Technolgy TDI?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2013 Volkswagen Cc GT Bluemotion Technolgy TDI?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2013 Volkswagen Cc GT Bluemotion Technolgy TDI?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2013 Volkswagen Cc GT Bluemotion Technolgy TDI?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

This 2013 Volkswagen CC GT is a serious concern: only 52.7% pass first time, almost 28 percentage points below the UK average of 80%. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually non-existent in this cohort, but the diesel engine clearly struggles with standard MOT requirements.

At 107,430 miles average, these cars have been well-used, yet each vehicle racks up an average of 0.59 failures per test — suggesting systemic issues rather than isolated problems. Before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the diesel engine bay and emissions systems, as this is where the repeated failures are clustered.

The 2013 Volkswagen Cc GT Bluemotion Technolgy TDI passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (86.4% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
