2021 Volkswagen T-ROC 2.0L Petrol · B14 BBB

The vehicle achieved a clean pass in September 2025 at 45,266 miles, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend has clearly improved following a period of neglect in mid-2024. The record shows two failures within a week in August 2024, caused by mismatched tyre sizes and rear brake pads worn below 1.5mm, yet the subsequent test and the latest annual check confirm these defects were rectified. The advisory regarding a cracked rear diff donut bush noted in August 2024 did not reappear in the 2025 inspection, suggesting the component was likely replaced. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical private use, averaging approximately 9,000 miles annually. The odometer progressed steadily from 41,213 miles in August 2024 to 45,266 miles by September 2025, covering roughly 4,000 miles in thirteen months. There are no significant gaps or suspicious mileage jumps in the record. This consistent usage pattern supports the validity of the mechanical history and indicates the car has not spent extended periods stationary, which often leads to fluid degradation or battery issues. Buyers should inspect the braking system and tyre configuration closely during a viewing. The August 2024 failures highlighted rear brake pads worn to the metal and low front pads, alongside repeated issues with tyre sizing and a nail embedded in the tread. Although the MOT confirms these were fixed, the severity of the brake wear suggests the previous owner delayed routine servicing. A test drive is essential to listen for drivetrain vibrations, as the previously cracked rear diff donut bush can cause shudder under acceleration if repairs were substandard. Verify the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System illuminates correctly, as this was a specific failure point in 2024.
