2022 Volkswagen T-Cross Active TSI 1.0L Petrol · YE71 ADX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in attention to consumables. While the January 2025 test resulted in no defects, the most recent inspection in January 2026 at 22,677 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres. These were noted as reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear, indicating a lapse in basic maintenance during the most recent service interval. At 22,677 miles over four years, this T-Cross averages approximately 5,669 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a modern hatchback. Between the January 2025 test at 14,540 miles and the January 2026 test, the vehicle covered 8,137 miles. This recent spike in usage explains the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the overall low mileage suggests the mechanical components have generally faced less stress than a high-mileage equivalent. A buyer should specifically inspect the front axle alignment and suspension geometry, as the uneven edge wear noted on the front tyres often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to check for signs of flat-spotting or brake disc corrosion, which can occur when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. Verify the remaining tread depth on all tyres to ensure the previous owner has addressed the advisory warnings from the last MOT.
