VOLKSWAGEN T-CROSS MATCH TSI2026 · 1.0L Petrol

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is unsafe given a lack of recent MOT evidence. The most recent test in June 2026 was passed at 34,546 miles without defects, but the vehicle has failed twice on the MOT record, with the second failure occurring on June 13, 2023, at 14,063 miles. This indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the first failure was likely a result of neglect or skipped routine checks. The gap between the 2026 and 2023 tests suggests the vehicle has not undergone a full 1,200-mile MOT cycle since the 2023 failure, implying that basic upkeep was likely skipped during the ownership period. Regarding the mileage pattern, the record shows a significant accumulation of 34,546 miles since the 2026 test, which is consistent with a vehicle that has not been serviced regularly. This high mileage correlates with the two failed MOT checks, where the second failure occurred at 14,063 miles. The test dates are sparse, with only two failures recorded, suggesting that the vehicle has not been tested in the past year for a long time. The mileage gap between the 2026 and 2023 tests is substantial, indicating that the vehicle has not been maintained in the last 1,200 miles or more since the 2023 failure. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for structural and mechanical risks such as worn suspension components, binding brakes, or rust. The first failure on the MOT record was flagged as rear brake discs significantly and obviously worn, which is a serious mechanical risk. The second failure on June 13, 2023, at 14,063 miles, also involved rear brake discs, reinforcing the diagnosis of worn brake components. Given the two failures and the lack of recent MOTs, the risk of a future MOT failure is high. The vehicle may require immediate professional inspection to check suspension bushings, brake pads, and steering components before returning it to a buyer.
