How many Volkswagen CCs are left in Great Britain?

There were 12,322 Volkswagen CCs licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 853 declared off the road (SORN). That is 31.9% fewer than the peak of 18,095 in 2016.

Volkswagen CC MOT reliability

In 2025, 71.5% of Volkswagen CC MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Volkswagen CCs tested pass 69.1% of the time, so the Volkswagen CC does better than average for its age, by 2.4 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 72.8%.

Volkswagen CC MOT failures

Suspension is the most common reason a Volkswagen CC fails its MOT, appearing on 46.2% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 9.4% of Volkswagen CC tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

Most common Volkswagen CC MOT defects and advisories

The single most common reason a Volkswagen CC failed its MOT in 2025 was “Coil spring: fractured or broken”, on 13.6% of 3,815 failed tests. 57.7% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

Volkswagen CC by year

5 years of the Volkswagen CC, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2012 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (69.5% passed first time) and the 2015 cars worst (71.9%).

Volkswagen CC engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 14,126 Volkswagen CCs licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 98.8% have an engine of 1,901cc to 2,000cc.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Volkswagen CC fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Volkswagen CC from 2012 to 2018. On the NEDC test (listings 2012 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 29.7 to 62.8 mpg, with CO2 of 118 to 219 g/km.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• VCA’s data has no Volkswagen versions for 2019 to 2024, so the years listed may leave out years the Volkswagen CC was on sale.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “CC”, “New CC”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Volkswagen CC safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Volkswagen CC in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Volkswagen CC. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
