2021 Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0L Petrol · GD21 FLL

The most recent MOT on 30 May 2025 at 22,041 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend is stable. The earlier test on 14 May 2024 at 18,249 miles also passed without advisories, indicating no emerging mechanical or structural issues over the past year. For a 2021 model, 22,041 miles equates to roughly 4,400 miles per annum, well below the typical usage for a five‑year‑old compact SUV. The mileage increase of 3,792 miles between the two tests reflects a consistent, modest annual run‑off, suggesting the car has not been subjected to high‑stress driving or excessive wear. No abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps appear in the record, reinforcing the impression of gentle usage. Even with a clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as tyre wear is not captured by the test. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of cracking or excessive play, and examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing. A visual check for surface rust on wheel arches and under‑body panels will confirm the absence of structural corrosion that the MOT might have missed. Finally, confirm that the owner has adhered to the manufacturer’s service schedule, particularly oil changes and coolant checks, to ensure the drivetrain and cooling system remain in good order. A functional battery, intact wiper blades, and clear exhaust emissions will round out the assessment before finalising the purchase.
