2015 Volkswagen Scirocco R (280PS)

As a performance coupe, the VW Scirocco R offers both thrilling speed and superb daily drivability. The deep black pearlescent paint has an excellent lustre, free of swirls or fade. We couldn’t make out any significant road wear chips on the car, and the finish is consistent in hue with no distracting marks. The images are taken from a few different angles to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves. So please take the time to fully assess these high-resolution images and videos of the car, for you to make up your own minds about the condition of the paint. The exterior presents positively, with no discernible signs of panel damage. The panels are flush, and the shut lines are consistent. All doors open and close with ease. The underside of the car is solid, free of grounding scrapes or damage. There is some surface wear on some exposed components, but along with the engine bay, wheel wells and boot floor, the overall condition is reassuring. We've highlighted in more detail our observations through our high-resolution images and videos, so please take time to look through all the media files for a detailed view of what’s on offer, and for you to assess the condition of the car for yourselves. The dashboard padding and facia present well, with nothing more than a few minor marks around the glovebox, but well above the expectations of a car of this age. The dials, controls, switches and screens are all clean and free of wear. All are said to work as they should, including the air con. The odometer read 66,985 at the time of our visit, James had covered some miles since then and the odometer read 66,992 at its MOT. The door cards and headlining are in good order. VW’s long-established reputation for performance and quality goes hand in hand with tech and practicality. The Scirocco in R form exemplifies this with its six-speed DSG automatic gearbox mated to a turbocharged 2.0-litre TSI petrol unit from the Golf R. The ride is firm, but free of any rattles from the wheels or the cabin. The steering manages the road without any problems, free of faults. The car pulls effortlessly without any hesitation, with a mild, harmonious hum and the slight acoustic purr of the exhaust. The upgraded electronic limited-slip differential and Adaptive Chassis Control system allow the driver to push the car to its limits with confidence. Even without driver assistance, the Scirocco R is a spirited drive with a balanced chassis. James has not had any issues with the car regarding reliability; its oil pressure and engine temperature have not shown any problems. The glass and seals are in good shape, with no issues noted on the lighting; the daytime running lights, bi-xenon headlights and LEDs are all good although there was a little condensation inside both front lenses. The trim is in good shape, with no significant marks, aside from the occasional minor age-related fade on some of the side glass trim. The bumpers are flush to the body, free of scuffs or marks. The five-spoke 'Cadiz' alloy wheels are in excellent condition. The front and rear of the car are fitted with Pirelli Dragonsport tyres with a spec of 235/35 - these are date-coded from 2024. All are in positive shape with plenty of even tread. Please take a look at the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior of the Scirocco and a closer look at the wheels and tyres to make your own assessment of their condition. The leather seats are in excellent condition. The front pair have no significant marks or wear and the rear shows just light marks from a child seat. The carpets are all clean and damp-free. The boot carpet suggests sympathetic and light use. The cold start posed no issue at all; the dashboard warning lights all went off the moment the engine turned over and remained off during our visit. The engine idles smoothly, with the exhaust condensation soon clearing. It was free of any untoward noises, with no tapping or vibrations. The engine presents well, with signs of regular maintenance. The plastic coverings are free of cracks or wear. The car was leak-free on the day of our visit. The DSG gearbox operates smoothly, with seamless shifts when accelerating and slowing down. James demonstrated its potency once the engine had properly warmed up and was satisfied with its operation. The gearbox has recently had new oil and a filter. We didn't test all the electric in the Scirocco during our visit but James told us, as far as he was aware, that everything is in working order. The car is fitted with the Dynaudio sound system and has a colour touchscreen infotainment system including DAB digital radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity. It is fitted with a Maxton Design front splitter. First registered in November 2015, this facelift Scirocco R comes with 8 service stamps and was serviced in October 2025, along with a new cambelt, water pump, tensioner and timing chain. It comes with its owner's wallet and booklets, and has two keys and has a current MOT valid until 29th October 2026. --------------------------------------------- From Trade Classics: This is an auction on behalf of a trade seller and normal auction rules apply, i.e. there is no warranty, no return policy and bids are binding with more info in our terms and conditions.
