2021 Volkswagen T-ROC Active TDI EVO 2.0L Diesel · CH70 PAT

This T-Roc presents an unblemished MOT record, with three consecutive passes and not a single advisory or failure recorded across its testing history to date. The latest examination on 17 October 2025 was passed cleanly, continuing a consistent pattern established at the earlier tests in August 2024 and October 2024. For a vehicle of this age, a record entirely free of even minor advisories is a positive indicator, though it should be understood that MOT results confirm roadworthiness at the point of testing only and cannot establish how the car has been maintained between tests. The recorded mileage of 25,231 miles equates to roughly 5,000 miles per year, which is low for a five-year-old diesel. One point of note is the appearance of two tests within 2024, in August and October, suggesting the test date was brought forward, which sometimes accompanies a change of keeper or a dealer preparation for sale. The low annual accumulation means wear items such as brake discs, pads, suspension bushes and tyres should have experienced limited use, though diesel engines used predominantly for short journeys can suffer from incomplete diesel particulate filter regeneration, which is worth bearing in mind given the modest yearly distances. On a test drive, listen for any hesitation or reduced power that could indicate a partially blocked DPF, and check whether the DPF warning light illuminates or has recently been triggered. Confirm the car reaches normal operating temperature promptly and that there is no excessive exhaust smoke under acceleration. With no advisories on record for brakes, suspension or steering, there are no specific flagged components to scrutinise, but a general check for knocks over uneven surfaces, steering pull under braking and any pedal judder remains sensible practice. Prospective buyers should verify the service history independently, since the MOT record alone cannot confirm whether oil changes, timing-related maintenance and fluid services have been carried out on schedule. Given the low mileage, also check tyre condition for age-related cracking rather than tread wear, and ensure all electronic systems, including the infotainment and driver assistance features typical of this trim level, function correctly. Overall, the documented testing history is clean and consistent, and the principal remaining questions concern servicing and usage pattern rather than anything the DVSA record reveals.
