2020 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.5L Petrol · L11 AAR

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its last three MOT examinations without failure. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 20,293 miles showed only a minor advisory regarding a damaged offside front tyre with slight cracking. While the mechanical trend appears stable, the recurring nature of tyre-related advisories across multiple years points to age-related rubber degradation rather than tread wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,382 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 12,008 miles and August 2024 at 16,413 miles, the car covered 3,405 miles, followed by another 3,880 miles leading to the 2025 test. This consistent low usage suggests the vehicle has seen minimal stress on the drivetrain and suspension, but it also explains the persistent perishing of rubber components noted in the records. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the record shows a history of cracking and damage on the offside front, nearside rear, and offside rear since 2023. Because the car sits for long periods, the rubber may suffer from dry rot despite having significant tread depth. The inspector should also check for brake disc corrosion or seized calipers, as low-mileage, older-age vehicles often suffer from surface rust when components are not frequently utilised.
