2020 Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0L Petrol · DF69 OWK

The 2025‑10‑08 MOT at 35,741 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle currently meets DVSA roadworthiness standards and that the maintenance trend remains stable, with no recurring failures evident in the preceding tests. The recorded mileage of 35,741 at six years old equates to roughly 5,957 miles per year, a figure lower than typical for a 2020 model; the interval between the January 2023 test (14,524 miles) and the January 2024 test (22,428 miles) spans eleven months, while the October 2024 test (25,959 miles) adds another 3,500 miles, indicating a gradual increase without abrupt mileage spikes. The only fault documented is a slight play in the offside rear wheel bearing noted on 17 January 2023 at 14,524 miles; subsequent tests show no repeat of this advisory, suggesting the issue was addressed or has not recurred, and the absence of brake disc wear, binding caliper, or suspension bush advisories in later records points to stable mechanical condition. A thorough in‑person assessment should therefore concentrate on the rear wheel bearing area, inspect the chassis and exhaust for hidden corrosion, verify tyre tread depth and condition, and confirm that the previously flagged bearing play has been fully resolved.
