2018 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.6L Diesel · CP68 BOU

The latest MOT test conducted on 28 June 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2022, the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections without a single recorded defect or advisory. This indicates a highly stable maintenance trend and suggests the vehicle has been kept in excellent mechanical condition, likely benefiting from proactive upkeep rather than reactive repairs. The vehicle has covered 61,211 miles over approximately eight years, averaging roughly 7,651 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this age and class. Such a consistent mileage profile suggests the engine and drivetrain have been used regularly enough to prevent the stagnation issues associated with low-use vehicles, while remaining low enough to avoid the accelerated wear and tear often seen in high-mileage examples. Since the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the inspection focus must shift to age-related degradation and consumables that are not always captured in a standard test. The buyer should carefully inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or fine cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of remaining tread depth. It is also essential to verify the service history stamps to ensure that oil changes and filter replacements have occurred at the manufacturer's recommended intervals, as calendar-based fluid degradation can occur even if the annual mileage is moderate. During the test drive, pay close attention to the brake pedal feel and listen for any slight grinding or shudder, which could indicate surface corrosion on the brake discs or binding calipers if the car has spent long periods stationary. Check the health of the 12V battery, as an eight-year-old unit may be nearing the end of its operational life. Finally, examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of splitting or corrosion, as these components naturally age and can lead to subtle handling changes or clunks over uneven road surfaces.
