2019 VOLKSWAGEN T-CROSS1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT on 3 September 2025 at 31,000 miles indicates a shift toward neglected consumable maintenance. While the car passed the test, the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This follows a clean pass in August 2024 at 21,866 miles, suggesting that while major mechanical components have remained reliable, the owner has recently allowed tyre tread to reach critical levels. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2019 model, averaging approximately 4,429 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental usage, with the gap between the November 2023 test at 17,718 miles and the August 2024 test showing a relatively consistent driving pattern. The jump from 21,866 miles in August 2024 to 31,000 miles in September 2025 represents a significant increase in annual distance compared to previous years, which likely explains the accelerated wear on the front tyres. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and front-end suspension. The November 2023 record noted a front inner brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored, and although it passed, these components should be checked for uneven thickness or excessive corrosion. The 2022 failure involving damaged track rod end ball joint dust covers indicates that the steering linkage has required attention in the past. Given the recent tyre wear patterns, a close examination of the wheel alignment and suspension bushes is advisable to ensure the vehicle is not scrubbing the tyres prematurely.
