2022 Volkswagen T-ROC R-Line TDI EVO S-A 2.0L Diesel · FP71 YPU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance regarding consumables. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 46,991 miles returned a pass despite an advisory for thin rear brake pads. While the vehicle meets the legal standard, this entry suggests that braking components are reaching the end of their service life and require immediate attention to prevent a future failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a four-year-old diesel, averaging approximately 11,750 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 37,637 miles and the January 2026 test at 46,991 miles, the car covered 9,354 miles. This regularity suggests consistent operation rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of engine seals and battery components. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the wheels, as the 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside rear road wheels for distorted inner rims. Such damage often results from significant curb impact or deep pothole strikes, which can lead to premature wear on wheel bearings and suspension bushings. Given the thin rear brake pads noted in the latest record, a technician should also verify the brake discs for scoring or uneven thickness to ensure the rotors have not been damaged by the worn pads.
