2021 Volkswagen T-ROC Black Edition TDI EVO 2.0L Diesel · RE21 DWW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-04-17 at 22,411 miles, confirmed roadworthiness with no defects recorded. The prior test in 2024-04-10 at 16,865 miles also showed no issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the gap between the last two tests exceeds 12 months, which is beyond the standard MOT validity period. This suggests the vehicle has not been retested within the required timeframe, raising concerns about its current compliance and potential undetected issues. The recorded mileage of 22,411 miles over five years equates to an average of 4,482 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This pattern may indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion, battery degradation, and component stiffness. The 5,546-mile increase between the 2024 and 2025 tests occurred over 12 months, aligning with the low annual average. While the MOT history is clean, the sparse data limits insight into long-term wear trends, particularly for systems not assessed during routine inspections. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the vehicle’s underbody for rust, especially in areas prone to moisture ingress, and check the suspension for hardened bushes or coil springs, which can degrade without regular use. The exhaust system, including catalytic converter functionality, warrants scrutiny, as low-mileage vehicles may develop leaks or blockages. Additionally, the braking system should be tested for caliper binding or uneven disc wear, as inactivity can cause sticking components. These checks are critical to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond the scope of the MOT records.
