Every Volkswagen Cc model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2012 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Volkswagen Cc:
| Year | Pass rate | Tests | Avg mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | 69.4% | 232 | 129,307 |
| 2012 | 75.4% | 2,263 | 122,988 |
| 2013 | 74.2% | 3,175 | 114,350 |
| 2014 | 75.5% | 3,462 | 104,316 |
| 2015 | 77.4% | 2,662 | 93,008 |

What this means if you are buying a 2012 Cc
The 2012 sits close to the Volkswagen Cc average, so there is no strong model-year signal either way. Judge the individual car on its own history. Check the exact car with the free MOT history checker before you buy, and run its VIN and mileage through our free VIN decoder and clocking check.
What a 14-year-old car fails on
A 2012 car is 14 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:
- Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
- Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
- Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
- Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
- Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
- Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested
That is high mileage, so timing belts, clutches, suspension bushes and corrosion are the items worth budgeting for rather than the MOT itself. On a 2012 Volkswagen Cc the average at test was 122,988 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.
The strongest year for this model is 2016 at 83.4%, and the weakest in our data is 2011 at 69.4%. That 14.0 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2012 car against a newer one tells you very little.
