2021 Volkswagen T-ROC Black Edition TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · KY71 XVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 40,708 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for front brake discs being pitted and scored. While this does not meet the immediate failure threshold, it indicates that the braking components are reaching the end of their effective life and require attention to maintain optimal performance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-to-moderate usage, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per annum. There is a gap of 11,440 miles between the August 2024 test and the September 2025 test. The failure in 2024 at 29,267 miles due to a nearside front tyre reading below 1.6mm suggests the previous owner neglected basic consumable inspections until a legal failure occurred, though the issue was rectified immediately for the subsequent retest. A buyer should personally inspect the front braking system to assess the extent of the corrosion on the discs. Since the tester flagged pitting and scoring at 40,708 miles, the pads should also be checked for uneven wear to ensure the calipers are not sticking. Given the previous tyre failure, a thorough tread depth check across all remaining tyres is necessary to ensure no other corners are nearing the legal limit.
