2022 Volkswagen T-ROC R-Line TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · FL72 AEC

The Volkswagen T-Roc returned a clean pass at its first MOT on 23 October 2025, recording 26,879 miles with no defects or advisories logged. The maintenance trend appears stable based on this single data point, though the history is too brief to establish a long-term pattern. The current certificate remains valid until late October 2026, giving the buyer a short window before the next statutory inspection is due. Registered in 2022, the vehicle has covered roughly 6,700 miles per year, a figure consistent with light private use or regular short journeys. The gap between first registration and the initial test at three years old follows the standard regulatory schedule, and the mileage recorded at that test aligns exactly with the current odometer reading, showing no evidence of clocking or unusual accumulation spikes. Low annual mileage often masks deterioration that time inflicts rather than distance. A physical inspection should prioritise the brake discs for surface corrosion and lip formation caused by infrequent hard braking, while the brake fluid likely requires renewal based on age rather than contamination levels. Tyre sidewalls need close scrutiny for cracking or perishing due to UV exposure and long periods static, and the suspension bushes should be checked for dry rot or splitting. The exhaust system and underbody structural panels warrant a thorough probe for early surface corrosion, as limited heat cycling can accelerate condensation-related rust on this platform.
