2022 Volkswagen T-ROC Life TSI 1.5L Petrol · CP72 GFU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on December 1, 2025. However, the record reveals a period of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The failure on that same day at 38,827 miles indicates multiple critical safety defects present simultaneously across the braking and tyre systems. While the subsequent pass suggests these specific issues were rectified, the trend shows the previous owner neglected basic consumables until the vehicle reached a point of legal failure. At 38,879 miles over four years, the T-roc has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a passenger vehicle. The mileage gap between the failure and the pass is only 52 miles, confirming that the necessary repairs were performed immediately following the test rather than being deferred over a long period. This low mileage suggests the drivetrain and engine components have remaining life, but the state of the wear items highlights a lack of routine inspection intervals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the replacement discs and pads were fitted correctly. The tester previously flagged pitted and scored discs alongside pads under 1.5mm, which indicates the entire assembly was at its service limit. Given that all four tyres were also near or below the legal limit in December 2025, verify the current tread depth and check for uneven wear to ensure no alignment issues or developed have developed in the suspension bushes. Check for any signs of fluid leaks around the brake calipers, as the previous failure suggests the vehicle was operating with significant mechanical stress.
