2020 Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0L Petrol · LS70 BKZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a lapse in proactive maintenance. The most recent test on 6 February 2026 at 35,234 miles resulted in a failure due to front brake pads being below the 1.5mm legal limit. While the vehicle passed the re-test immediately, this failure suggests the previous owner waited for components to reach a point of failure rather than replacing them during scheduled service intervals. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,872 miles per year. There is a steady progression between the February 2023 test at 16,511 miles and the February 2026 test at 35,234 miles, showing regular usage patterns rather than long periods of stagnation. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts if the car sits stationary for too long between trips. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the tyres and the braking system. The record from the January 2024 test at 20,488 miles flagged perishing and cracking on both rear tyres, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where rubber ages before it wears down. Given the 2026 brake pad failure, it is essential to verify that the brake discs are not scored or showing signs of uneven wear following the replacement. No structural corrosion or suspensionrelated issues have appeared in the history, suggesting the chassis remains in good condition.
