About the Volkswagen CC
The Volkswagen CC was MOT tested 26,075 times in 2024 (DVSA data, retests included) across 9 model years (2009 to 2017), with an average pass rate of 82%. That's close to the average of 82% across all models in our data. Our records list petrol and diesel versions.
Best and Worst Years
Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2016 model has the highest pass rate at 86% from 3,077 tests. The 2011 model has the lowest at 76%. The 10 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.
Reliability Trend
Newer Volkswagen CCs pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 4 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.
Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (2009) averages 134,736 miles, while the newest (2017) averages 69,774 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
Estimated Running Costs
Based on 7,400 miles/year, average pump prices of 174.57p petrol and 199.33p diesel (GOV.UK weekly road fuel prices, week of 19 October 2026), and MOT pass rate data. Insurance not included.
