2019 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.5L Petrol · EJ69 TKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-11-17 MOT at 38,403 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability, as all prior tests from 2022 to 2025 recorded no defects, despite the anomaly of a failed test at 38,402 miles immediately before the pass. This suggests either a data entry error or a procedural inconsistency, but the absence of recorded faults in the latest assessment confirms compliance. The mileage of 38,403 miles at 7 years old equates to approximately 5,486 miles annually, which is below average for the model. This pattern implies infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion or fluid degradation. Notable gaps in the MOT history between 2023 and 2024, and again between 2024 and 2025, raise questions about the vehicle’s usage frequency, though no defects were flagged during the recorded tests. A physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to inactivity, such as suspension bushes for dry rot, brake calipers for binding, and the exhaust system for corrosion. The lack of recorded issues suggests the vehicle was maintained to standard, but low mileage may mask wear in areas like steering linkages or differential fluids. Buyers should verify service records for completeness and check for signs of stagnant operation, such as discoloured coolant or stiff steering.
