2022 Volkswagen T-ROC R-Line TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · CYZ 3126

The most recent MOT, carried out on 6 August 2026, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories. As this is the sole entry in the MOT history, there is no evidence of a deteriorating pattern; the vehicle appears to have been maintained to a standard that satisfies the statutory safety and emissions criteria at the time of testing. At four years old the T‑Roc records just 19,201 miles, equating to an average of roughly 4,800 miles per annum. This is considerably below the typical UK average of 7‑10 thousand miles a year for a family SUV, suggesting either a predominantly short‑haul usage profile or extended periods of inactivity. Low annual mileage reduces cumulative wear on engine, transmission and suspension components, but it can also indicate that the car may have spent considerable time stationary, which can introduce age‑related degradation in rubber and fluid systems despite the modest distance covered. For a buyer, the first visual inspection should focus on tyre condition; even with low mileage, sidewalls can develop cracks, dry‑rot or bulges as the rubber ages, especially if the vehicle has been stored outdoors. Check the tread depth for even wear and confirm that the tyre pressure sensors operate correctly. The 12‑volt battery, now four years old, may have suffered from reduced cycling if the car has sat for long periods, so a load test or a check of the state‑of‑charge is advisable. Examine all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid – for colour, level and any signs of sediment; calendar‑based replacement is recommended for brake fluid after two years and for coolant after four, regardless of mileage. Finally, inspect the suspension and steering components for any signs of corrosion on the mounting points, especially around the lower control arm bushes and ball joints, as standing can accelerate rust in these areas. Verify that the brake discs are free of surface rust and that the pads show even wear without glazing; a test‑drive should reveal any pulsation, shudder or pulling that could indicate warped discs or binding calipers. Confirm that the service booklet contains regular oil changes and any scheduled timing‑belt or chain service, and ask for receipts for any recent tyre rotations or brake servicing. These checks will help ensure that the low‑mileage T‑Roc is not merely a calendar‑aged vehicle with hidden age‑related wear.
