2020 Volkswagen T-ROC Black Edition TSI EVO SA 1.5L Petrol · DA70 YSC

The Volkswagen T-Roc presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 April 2026 at 41,797 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed entry on the same date showing no defects, which points to an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior three annual tests from November 2023 to November 2025, the vehicle passed each time with no advisories, confirming no worsening pattern of wear or recurring mechanical concerns. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,966 miles, typical for a six-year-old car. The record shows 28,094 miles at the 3 November 2023 test, rising to 36,673 by 6 November 2024 and 41,664 by 12 November 2025. That equates to about 8,500 miles in year one and only 133 miles between the November 2025 and April 2026 entries. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglect, though the low recent accumulation suggests the car stood idle for weeks at a time. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and low-use pattern, as standing vehicles often develop perished rubber components and superficial corrosion unseen in a pass-only record. The absence of any flagged exhaust emissions or structural integrity issues is reassuring, but confirm the 2026 failure with no defects was a clerical matter and not a withheld certificate. Check tyre sidewalls and wiper blades for age cracking from the low-mileage storage, and verify service history matches the odometer. No advisories across five tests implies conscientious prior ownership, yet a used buyer should not rely on MOT data alone for drivetrain condition.
