Which Volkswagen CC years should I avoid?

The Volkswagen CC build year that fails most for its age is 2013: index 105.5 (95% CI 102.7–108.3) against the model's own age norm of 100 (2019–2024, n = 20,538).

Build year matters for the Volkswagen CC: 2013 Volkswagen CCs fail more than their age would predict, 2016 ones less. Years whose confidence interval includes normal are shown without a label.

If a Volkswagen CC fails, does it fail again?

26.8% of Volkswagen CCs that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 21.6% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 3,244). The failure most likely to come back is ‘body, chassis, structure’: 35.4% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

Of every 100 Volkswagen CCs tested at age 7, about 21 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 10, about 28. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).
