4,668 real MOT outcomes analysed • 83% first-time pass rate

2013 Volkswagen Cc

CarHunch analysed 4,668 real MOT records for the 2013 Volkswagen Cc. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2013 VW CC has an 83% first-time MOT pass rate, which is modestly above the UK average of 80%, suggesting reasonable baseline reliability—though nearly 38% of these cars have experienced a dangerous defect at some point, which is a genuine concern for any prospective buyer. The diesel-dominant fleet (98% of analysed vehicles) shares the same 83% pass rate, so fuel type isn't a differentiator here.

At 78,000 miles median, these cars sit right where you'd expect for a 2013 model, indicating average usage patterns rather than abused stock. The average 1.87 failures per vehicle is moderate, but the 12.7 advisories per vehicle suggests these cars develop niggles and wear items steadily—budget for regular maintenance and get a full pre-purchase inspection that specifically flags any history of suspension, electrical, or engine management issues before committing.

What to check before buying a 2013 Volkswagen Cc

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • ⚠️ 37.8% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
