2019 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.6L Diesel · L44 NAU

The 2026‑07‑31 MOT at 58,710 miles passed with only tyre‑perishing advisories, confirming the Volkswagen T‑ROC remains roadworthy but reveals deferred tyre maintenance. Since the 2022 test at 16,468 miles, mileage has risen steadily and no new mechanical defects have appeared, indicating a relatively stable maintenance record aside from tyre wear. The vehicle, registered in 2019, has accumulated roughly 58,710 miles after seven years, averaging about 8,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage; however, the jump from 21,558 miles in September 2023 to 40,117 miles in September 2024 represents an acceleration of roughly 18,500 miles in one year, indicating increased usage or longer intervals between tests. The unchanged mileage between June and September 2023 suggests a short interval with little driving. A buyer should therefore examine the rear tyres for cracking or perishing, verify that the front tyres are not beyond the legal tread depth, and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, as the 2022 advisory on front tyre wear on edge hints at possible suspension mis‑alignment. Check the rear brake calipers for binding and the brake discs for scoring, since rear tyre perishing can be associated with dragging calipers. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion, especially where the 2022 child‑seat fitting may have concealed underlying damage, and verify structural integrity, exhaust emissions and any advisory notes on the test sheet. Given the recurring tyre defects and the mileage acceleration, a thorough in‑person inspection of suspension components, brake hardware, and structural corrosion is essential before purchase.
