2021 VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC BLACK EDITION TSI1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 24 June 2025 at 17,718 miles. The maintenance trend is currently stable, with no major mechanical or structural failures recorded across the two available MOT entries. The most recent test flagged only minor advisories concerning the nearside and offside front tyres, both noted as worn close to the legal limit and exhibiting edge wear. These are consumable items rather than indicators of underlying mechanical neglect, though the specific mention of edge wear suggests potential alignment or tracking issues that may accelerate tyre degradation. The mileage accumulation for this five-year-old T-Roc is notably low, averaging approximately 3,544 miles per year. Between the July 2024 test at 12,615 miles and the June 2025 test at 17,718 miles, the vehicle covered 5,103 miles in just under eleven months. This represents a period of more active use following what appears to have been a relatively stationary phase in the preceding years. The sparse MOT record, limited to two entries, provides a narrow window into the vehicle's history, but both tests returned favourable outcomes with no escalating or recurring mechanical defects. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry during any pre-purchase test drive. The edge wear pattern on both front tyres flagged in the June 2025 test typically points to misaligned tracking, worn suspension bushes, or degraded track rod ends. A four-wheel alignment check is advisable to confirm whether the issue has been corrected or if the tyres have continued to deteriorate. Beyond the tyres, the low annual mileage raises the possibility of prolonged standing periods, which can lead to flat-spotted brake discs, deteriorated rubber components such as brake hoses and suspension bushes, and moisture ingress into the exhaust system. Inspect the underside carefully for surface corrosion on brake lines, subframe mounting points, and exhaust hangers, as short-trip usage accelerates moisture-related corrosion despite the low recorded mileage.
