2022 Volkswagen T-Cross SE Edition TSI S-A 1.0L Petrol · LL11 KAZ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 October 2025. Given the age of the car, this represents its initial testing cycle, and the overall maintenance trend appears stable. However, the presence of advisories regarding the front tyres indicates that while the vehicle is legally roadworthy, it is approaching a point where essential consumable replacement is required to maintain safety and performance. The recorded mileage of 22,081 miles over approximately four years is significantly lower than the UK average, averaging roughly 5,520 miles per annum. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the engine internals and drivetrain components, it can often be indicative of short-distance urban usage or periods of prolonged inactivity. Such usage patterns can lead to specific issues, such as carbon build-up in the engine or the degradation of components that rely on regular movement. Regarding the specific MOT advisories, the wear on the edges of both nearside and offside front tyres is a point of concern. This pattern often suggests a misalignment of the steering geometry or incorrect tyre pressures. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for excessive road noise and feel for any pulling or drifting in the steering. It is highly recommended that the front tyres be replaced and a full four-wheel alignment be carried out to prevent premature wear on new rubber. Due to the low annual mileage, the buyer must perform several age-related checks. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Examine the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or signs of binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle stands for extended periods. Finally, verify the service history to ensure that engine oil and filters have been changed according to the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than mileage alone, and check the health of the 12V battery to ensure it has not been depleted by infrequent use.
