2022 Volkswagen T-ROC Active TSI EVO S-A 1.5L Petrol · CF71 TYZ

This Volkswagen T-Roc has maintained a clean MOT history over the past two tests, passing both the January 2025 and January 2026 assessments without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test in January 2026, at 28,337 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, with no evidence of unresolved mechanical or structural issues. The absence of recurring faults suggests consistent compliance with basic maintenance, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred servicing beyond MOT scope. The recorded mileage of 28,337 miles over four years—approximately 7,084 miles annually—falls within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage accumulation between tests, indicating steady usage without prolonged periods of neglect. The most recent MOT was conducted just six months ago, which is well within the 12-month validity period, though buyers should verify whether the vehicle has undergone any interim servicing or repairs not documented in the MOT record. Given the lack of MOT-reported issues, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear components that are not routinely checked during the test. The suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are critical for ride quality and handling. Brake components, including discs, pads, and calipers, warrant close scrutiny for uneven wear or signs of overheating, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or in mixed conditions. Additionally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, as the T-Roc’s SUV design can exacerbate moisture ingress. Finally, tyre condition—including tread depth, sidewall integrity, and matching wear patterns—should be verified, as the MOT’s failure to flag any tyre-related issues may reflect basic compliance rather than proactive maintenance.
