2022 Volkswagen T-ROC R-Line TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · AL55 SOL

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 20 August 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the previous test in September 2025 had flagged concerns regarding tyre condition which have since been rectified. The absence of structural failures or mechanical defects in the most recent inspection suggests the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state and has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. With a recorded mileage of 27,309 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,827 miles per year. This usage rate is considered typical for a modern compact SUV and suggests a balanced duty cycle. It avoids the excessive wear on consumables and drivetrain components associated with high-mileage vehicles while remaining active enough to prevent the common mechanical degradation seen in cars that suffer from prolonged periods of standing. Despite the clean latest MOT, the 2025 advisories regarding the offside front tyre being worn on the edge and the offside rear tyre perishing warrant a physical inspection. A buyer should examine the current tyre treads for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate a misalignment of the steering or suspension geometry. Additionally, check the date codes on all tyres to ensure they have not been replaced with aged stock, as rubber perishing is a common age-related failure that can compromise safety regardless of the remaining tread depth. Given the vehicle age and the automatic transmission, a comprehensive test drive should focus on the smoothness of gear transitions and the absence of shuddering during low-speed manoeuvres. It is also advisable to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the service record to confirm that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than just mileage. Finally, verify the health of the 12V battery, as the sophisticated electronics and start-stop systems in these models are highly sensitive to voltage drops.
