Our Verdict
This 2023 Volkswagen T-Roc 1.5 TSI in bl
The MOT history for this vehicle is short and currently clean, but that should not be treated as proof of mechanical soundness; it simply means the car passed one test without recorded defects. As a 2023 model, this T-Roc is still likely to have manufacturer warranty cover depending on its purchase date — confirm the warranty status directly with the seller or a Volkswagen dealer. When viewing, pay particular attention to the areas that commonly cause T-Roc MOT failures according to the aggregate data: tyre condition, brake discs, and suspension arms. Ask to see the full service history (preferably a Volkswagen main agent or specialist service book) and cross-check the recorded mileage against the MOT record at 40,257 miles. Negotiation points could include the higher-than-average annual mileage and the fact that this is a relatively new vehicle, where any sign of neglect in just three years should be a red flag. Consider an independent pre-purchase inspection (such as a Volkswagen specialist or AA/RAC check) given that the MOT history is limited.
The 1.5 TSI petrol engine in the T-Roc is widely known for combining decent performance with reasonable efficiency, typically returning mid-40s mpg on a combined cycle in real-world driving. As a Euro 6 AP petrol registered from May 2023, this vehicle sits in a relatively low VED (road tax) band for the first years of ownership, though tax rates for this age of vehicle are modest in any case. Insurance for a T-Roc 1.5 TSI generally falls into a moderate group, but exact premiums depend on the buyer's profile, location, and driving history — obtain a quote before purchase. Typical routine maintenance for a Volkswagen of this age includes oil services every 12 months or 10,000 miles, with brake fluid and cabin filter changes on schedule. Based on fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, the estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,800-£2,200 depending on mileage and insurance profile.
Given the model-level data highlighting tyres, brake discs, and suspension arms as the top MOT failure reasons for the T-Roc, these are the three areas to inspect most carefully on this particular car. Even though the May 2026 MOT recorded no defects, tyres and brake discs can wear significantly between tests, especially on a vehicle running at around 13,400 miles per year. Physically check the tyre tread depth (anything below 3mm on the rear or 2mm on the front suggests replacement is imminent), look for uneven wear patterns that might indicate tracking or suspension issues, and inspect the brake discs for lipping, scoring, or corrosion around the edges. On the suspension side, push down firmly on each corner to check the damping, and listen for knocking noises over bumps which could indicate worn anti-roll bar links or control arm bushes. Beyond the model weak points, inspect the 1.5 TSI engine for any signs of oil leaks, listen for timing chain rattle on cold start (a known concern on early TSI engines), and verify that all electronics — infotainment, climate control, driver assists — function correctly.
This particular L60LAH-registered T-Roc is a 1.5-litre petrol (Euro 6 AP) finished in black, first registered in May 2023 and presenting 40,257 miles at its most recent MOT in late May 2026. The recorded mileage equates to roughly 13,400 miles per year, which is notably higher than the model average of 8,069 miles per annum. The single MOT test on file was passed with no advisories or defects recorded, and the Volkswagen T-Roc as a model enjoys a 91.8% MOT pass rate across 57,423 analysed vehicles — well above the typical national average.
The Volkswagen T-Roc shows a 91.8% MOT pass rate across 57,423 analysed vehicles, which is notably above average for the SUV class, suggesting generally solid reliability. The most common failure points — tyres, brake discs, and suspension arms — are wear-and-tear items rather than fundamental design flaws, which is a positive indicator for long-term durability.

Common Problems: VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- MQB Thermoplastic Water Pump & Thermostat Housing Coolant Leak(Moderate)
On 1.0 TSI, 1.5 TSI, and 2.0 TSI models, the plastic coolant pump module body warps from thermal cycling, resulting in slow coolant loss and pink crusty stains near the oil filter housing.
- DQ200 7-Speed Dry-Clutch DSG Shudder and Mechatronic Wear(Serious)
Front-wheel drive petrol T-Rocs fitted with the 7-speed dry-clutch DQ200 DSG can suffer clutch shudder when taking off and occasional mechatronic valve body pressure loss.
