2021 Volkswagen T-ROC United TSI EVO S-A 1.5L Petrol · LL21 KZZ

A consistently clean MOT record across three consecutive tests establishes a strong baseline of roadworthiness for this 2021 Volkswagen T-Roc. The most recent assessment on 21 October 2025 returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, continuing an unbroken pattern established at the April 2024 and November 2024 tests, which both also passed without comment. With no advisory items flagged for suspension components, brake condition, corrosion, or exhaust integrity across the available history, the DVSA record shows no chronic mechanical concerns. The absence of any failure or even minor advisory suggests the vehicle has not yet developed the wear-related defects typically associated with higher-mileage examples of this model, though MOT records alone cannot verify the standard of maintenance carried out between tests. Annual mileage accumulation is notably low for a vehicle of this age. At 23,722 recorded miles over approximately five years, the T-Roc has covered an average of around 4,744 miles per year, which is substantially below typical usage for a petrol-powered family crossover. The three MOT tests are spaced across 2024 and 2025 without any apparent long gap in testing, indicating the vehicle has remained on the road throughout. Low annual mileage of this nature reduces wear on major drivetrain and chassis components such as the clutch, turbocharger, brake discs, and suspension bushes, but it can also mean prolonged periods of standing, which carries its own implications for certain components. Given the light usage profile, particular attention should be paid during inspection to areas that can deteriorate through inactivity rather than active wear. The 12V battery, starter motor, and alternator are worth checking, as short infrequent journeys may not allow full charging cycles. Brake discs and pads, while likely to have substantial material remaining, can develop corrosion on the disc surface or seize in the calipers if the vehicle has been left stationary for extended periods; light surface rust on the discs is normal but binding calipers or uneven pad wear would be a concern. Tyres should be inspected for age-related cracking in the sidewalls, as even lightly used tyres degrade over time, and uneven wear patterns may indicate extended kerbing or alignment issues that would not be visible on an MOT record. On a road test, the 1.0-litre TSI EVO engine and seven-speed DSG automatic transmission should be evaluated for smooth cold starts, consistent idle, and clean gear changes without hesitation or shunt. Listen for any timing chain rattle on startup, which has been noted on some early TSI units, and confirm that the transmission responds promptly to throttle inputs in both manual and automatic modes. Steering should feel precise without vibration or pulling to one side, and the suspension should remain composed over uneven surfaces with no clonking or knocking from the front wishbones, anti-roll bar links, or rear torsion beam bushings. A thorough inspection underneath for any signs of oil leakage from the engine or transmission, along with verification that all warning systems function correctly, will round out a sensible evaluation of this otherwise clean and lightly used example.
