2023 Volkswagen T-ROC 2.0L Diesel · FV23 SKZ

A clean MOT record, punctuated solely by minor front‑wiper blade wear, defines the mechanical story of this 2023 Volkswagen T‑Roc R‑Line. The most recent test on 23 April 2026 resulted in a pass, with the only advisories relating to worn or juddering nearside and offside wiper blades, and no failures were recorded. With 14,770 miles logged over roughly three years, the vehicle averages about 4,900 miles per annum – well below the typical UK usage for a compact SUV of this age. Such low annual mileage suggests limited wear on wear‑items such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension components, but it may also indicate periods of inactivity that can affect rubber seals, battery condition, and interior moisture levels. The modest mileage does not, however, guarantee the state of those parts and a visual and functional inspection remains essential. The wiper blade advisories merit specific attention. On a test drive, verify that both blades clear the glass without streaking, chatter, or uneven contact, and listen for any abnormal motor noise that could hint at wear in the wiper mechanism. Inspect the blades for cracking, hardening, or loss of flexibility, and consider replacing them promptly, as worn blades can compromise visibility in wet weather. Also check the washer fluid reservoir and spray jets for blockage or leaks. Beyond the wipers, a thorough roadworthiness check should include tyre tread depth and uniform wear patterns, brake pedal feel and pad thickness, and a visual inspection of the suspension for any cracked bushings or leaking dampers. Given the low mileage, these components are likely to be within service limits, but confirming their condition through a qualified pre‑purchase inspection will provide the buyer with a realistic assessment of the vehicle’s current state.
