2021 Volkswagen T-ROC R TSI 4MOTION S-A 2.0L Petrol · BA21 AXB

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 21 July 2026. While the overall record remains a pass, the maintenance trend indicates a gradual increase in consumable wear. The 2024 test was entirely clean, but subsequent tests have introduced recurring advisories regarding tyre condition and brake wear, suggesting that the vehicle is now entering a phase where several key wear-and-tear components require attention to maintain roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 46,576 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,315 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a modern performance crossover and suggests a consistent driving history without prolonged periods of standing or excessive heavy-duty use. At this mileage, the drivetrain and suspension should remain robust, although the wear on tyres and brakes is consistent with this level of annual accumulation. A significant point of concern is the recurring pattern of inner tyre wear, which affected the rear tyres in 2025 and the front tyres in 2026. This specific type of wear, where the inner edge degrades faster than the centre, is a classic symptom of incorrect wheel alignment, specifically incorrect camber or toe settings. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the tread depth across the width of all four tyres and look for feathering on the edges. During a test drive, listen for an unusual humming or droning sound, which often accompanies uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the advisory regarding slight scoring on the nearside front brake disc indicates the onset of surface degradation. While not currently a failure, scoring can lead to increased noise and reduced braking efficiency over time. On the test drive, feel for any slight shudder through the brake pedal under moderate deceleration. Given the combined tyre and brake advisories, the buyer should budget for a professional four-wheel alignment and the replacement of the front tyres and potentially the front brake discs and pads to restore the vehicle to optimal mechanical condition.
