2020 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.5L Petrol · DC69 AAK

The Volkswagen T-Roc presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 44,980 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's six-year life. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the history, indicating the previous keeper addressed consumable wear before each test rather than letting minor issues accumulate. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,500 miles, which is typical for a 2020-registered car. The records show steady, linear accumulation: 22,071 miles in February 2023, 28,400 by February 2024, 32,503 by October 2024, and 44,980 by October 2025. The step from 32,503 to 44,980 over twelve months reflects a single year of slightly above-average use, but no abrupt gaps or dormant periods suggest long-term standing that might provoke seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres. The four passes with zero defects point to a keeper who maintained the car to a reasonable standard. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clean sheet. Absence of advisories does not rule out early wear in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc scoring that a tester may not have flagged under current DVSA thresholds. At six years old the T-Roc is entering the age where subframe corrosion and exhaust hanger fatigue begin to appear on VAG platforms. Verify the service history matches the odometer readings and confirm tyre manufacture dates, as the MOT recorded no tread or sidewall defects yet gave no insight into rubber age. Check the front wishbone mounts and rear trailing arm bushes for play, and test the handbrake travel, since binding or lazy rear calipers often escape detection on a pass result.
