2020 Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0L Petrol · CA69 UTO

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 39,635 miles passed without mechanical failures, although the tester noted a nearside rear child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belt. This follows a clean pass in early 2025, indicating that the vehicle has generally met minimum safety standards during its annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 22,671 miles and January 2024 at 28,461 miles, the car covered 5,790 miles, showing a steady rate of use that continued into 2025 and 2026. This low mileage reduces the likelihood of heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage engines, particularly regarding the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus attention on the braking system during a physical inspection because the January 2024 test at 28,461 miles flagged thin front brake pads. While this is a standard consumable wear item, the current thickness of the remaining pads should be verified to ensure the discs are not scored. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for signs of brake corrosion or seized calipers, which can occur on vehicles that sit stationary for long periods between uses.
