2019 Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0L Petrol · GD69 NXR

The vehicle achieved a pass certificate on 6 January 2026 at 36,002 miles, yet the maintenance trend appears to be deteriorating after a period of clean records. The tester initially failed the car on 5 January 2026 due to an exhaust Lambda reading falling outside specified limits, alongside significant tyre defects. While the emissions issue was rectified immediately, the persistence of tyre damage warnings suggests the owner is delaying essential replacement of consumables. Recorded mileage increased steadily from 17,900 miles in November 2022 to 36,002 miles by January 2026, indicating consistent low annual usage of approximately 5,000 to 6,000 miles. This limited mileage accumulation fits the vehicle's profile and suggests the car has not endured heavy driving stress. The history shows no significant gaps in testing, with services conducted annually between 2022 and 2026. You should closely inspect the rubber components and engine management system before purchase. The January 2026 test flagged a front tyre worn close to the legal limit on the edge, which often points to incorrect tracking geometry, and an offside rear tyre exhibiting cracking within the treads. Although the exhaust emissions fault was cleared, the Lambda reading failure warrants a diagnostic check to ensure the oxygen sensors or catalytic converter are functioning correctly.
