2023 Volkswagen T-ROC 2.0L Diesel · KP23 YOW

The 2023 Volkswagen T‑ROC failed its most recent MOT on 18 February 2026 at 27,819 miles, rendering it not roadworthy until the listed faults are corrected. No earlier test data is available, so a maintenance trend cannot be established; the failure indicates unresolved mechanical issues that have not been addressed since the previous inspection. The mileage recorded at that test equates to roughly 9,300 miles per year for a three‑year‑old vehicle, which is typical for its age. Because only a single MOT entry exists, there is no evidence of long standing periods or unusually rapid mileage accumulation, and the figure suggests regular use rather than extended idle time. A buyer should therefore inspect the near‑side rear tyre for perishing, examine the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, assess the condition of the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust. The headlamp aim fault may also point to mis‑aligned suspension components that merit close scrutiny. In summary, the vehicle’s recent failure highlights the need for immediate remedial work on the tyre, brakes and suspension, and a thorough in‑person inspection of the structural integrity and braking system is essential before any purchase decision.
