2018 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.5L Petrol · DA68 KBO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in proactive consumable replacement. The most recent test on June 3, 2026 at 64,197 miles flagged a nearside rear tyre worn to 1.8mm with uneven edge wear. This mirrors an advisory from the previous year in 2025 at 60,139 miles, where the same tyre was noted for similar wear. While the car continues to pass tests, the recurring tyre issues suggest a consistent failure to replace rubber before it reaches the legal limit. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation, moving from 47,888 miles in December 2022 to 64,197 miles in June 2026. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips rather than long-distance commuting, which generally reduces strain on the drivetrain and engine. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to indicate long periods of stationary storage or sudden spikes in usage. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the alignment and suspension geometry. The repeated edge wear on the nearside rear tyres across 2025 and 2026 indicates a potential tracking issue or a worn suspension bush/arm component that has not been addressed. Additionally, the 2023 record noted worn front brake discs and perishing rubber on the front tyres. Given the age of the car, check for sidewall cracking in all tyres and ensure the brake system is not heavily corroded due to age despite the low mileage.
