2019 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.6L Diesel · KB04 NER

The Volkswagen T-Roc has demonstrated consistent MOT compliance over the past three years, with the most recent test on 2026-02-10 at 103,754 miles resulting in a clean pass and no advisories. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and maintenance, as no recurring defects were recorded across the five MOT cycles spanning from March 2023 to February 2026. The absence of advisories or failures implies that critical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, and exhaust systems have either been replaced or maintained within manufacturer specifications. However, the lack of advisory notes also means there is no historical evidence of pre-existing issues that may have been addressed between tests. The recorded mileage of 103,754 miles over approximately seven years—equivalent to around 14,822 miles annually—indicates relatively high usage for a vehicle of this age. Notably, there is a gap of just three days between the March 2023 tests at 75,679 and 75,682 miles, suggesting either a rapid resale or a temporary storage period. The subsequent mileage accumulation of roughly 8,500 miles between tests (e.g., from 75,682 in March 2023 to 88,008 in February 2024) aligns with consistent driving patterns rather than prolonged neglect. While this mileage rate is above average, the consistent MOT pass history implies that the vehicle has been maintained to mitigate excessive wear. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested during an MOT. The suspension system—particularly the rear subframe mounts, track arms, and bushings—should be examined for excessive play, cracking, or corrosion, as these are common failure points at this mileage. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged in MOTs, may require assessment for uneven wear or glazing, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks or rust penetration, particularly around the catalytic converter and muffler joints, as these are prone to corrosion over time. Finally, the underbody should be inspected for structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and rear subframe, as high mileage and potential exposure to road salt could accelerate deterioration.
