2019 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.6L Diesel · CJ11 AKJ

The MOT history for this 2019 Volkswagen T-Roc shows a clean and consistent roadworthiness record over the period covered, with four straight passes and no advisories or recurring defects logged across the testing cycle. The most recent test on 14 April 2026 was a pass with no defects recorded, reinforcing what is otherwise a tidy pattern back to 2024. The only interruption to this clean sequence is the failure recorded on 18 April 2023, where a major defect was raised for the front windscreen wiper not clearing the windscreen effectively under section 3.4 (b) (ii). The fact that the same vehicle passed an MOT on the identical date immediately after, with no defects recorded, indicates the wiper issue was rectified to a satisfactory standard at the time, and there has been no recurrence in the three tests that have followed. With no suspension, brake, corrosion, exhaust, or structural advisories appearing anywhere in the dataset, the recorded DVSA evidence does not flag any chronic wear trends or developing mechanical concerns. With 71,500 miles recorded over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged around 10,214 miles per year, which sits comfortably within the typical usage band for a car of this age. There are no extended gaps between tests that would suggest the vehicle was laid up for any significant period, nor are there any sudden jumps or drops in the mileage progression that would imply clock irregularities or unusual use. This steady accumulation points to consistent running rather than long stationary periods, meaning the typical wear items such as brake discs and pads, tyres, and suspension components are likely to have been exercised at a normal rate rather than suffering from dry-rot or seizure through disuse. For a T-Roc of this profile, that level of use would generally mean the braking system is approaching, but not necessarily at, a replacement interval depending on driving conditions, and the tyres should be inspected for even wear across both axles. From a buyer inspection standpoint, while the MOT record itself is largely silent on mechanical wear, the test drive and physical checks should focus on the areas most likely to show their age on a T-Roc at this mileage. Listen for any clonks or knocking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, paying particular attention to the lower control arm bushes, anti-roll bar drop links, and top mounts, as these are known to wear progressively on MQB-platform vehicles. Check for uneven tyre wear on both shoulders, which can point to worn suspension bushes or alignment issues, and inspect the front brake discs for a pronounced lip on the outer edge and any vibration through the steering wheel under firm braking, which would suggest disc warping. It is also worth confirming that the wiper linkage mechanism, which triggered the only recorded failure, is operating smoothly across the full sweep, with no skipping, streaking, or hesitation on both dry and wet glass. Inspect all four tyres for the production date stamp on the sidewall, as a set of original 2019 tyres would be seven years old and well past their safe service life regardless of remaining tread, and verify the condition of the rear brake components and handbrake travel during the test drive. Finally, although no advisories were raised for corrosion in any test, carry out a thorough visual inspection of the wheel arches, underbody, and subframe mounting points for any surface rust, as the T-Roc can be susceptible to early corrosion in these areas, particularly on vehicles that have seen winter road salt exposure.
