2019 VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC1.5L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 53,883 miles passed, it introduced advisories for worn front tyres and thin rear brake pads. This represents a departure from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that components are now being addressed only as they approach legal failure limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between the August 2022 test at 23,770 miles and the August 2025 test at 53,883 miles, the car covered 30,113 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. However, the 2022 advisory noting that all tyres had perished suggests the vehicle sat stationary for long periods early in its life, which can lead to rubber rot and internal cracking despite low recorded mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and alignment, as the 2025 advisory regarding edge wear on both front tyres often indicates tracking issues or misaligned camber geometry. The braking system requires immediate attention, as the rear pads were flagged as thin during the last inspection and likely require replacement shortly. Given the history of perished rubber, checking the sidewalls of the current tyres for age-related cracking is essential to ensure they have not degraded despite having sufficient tread depth.
