2020 Volkswagen T-ROC SE TSI EVO S-A 1.5L Petrol · LS70 WUE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend is showing signs of recent decline. While the most recent MOT test in May 2026 passed, it introduced multiple advisories and minor faults that were absent in the previous year's inspection. The shift from a clean record in 2025 to a list of mechanical and safety concerns suggests a recent lapse in preventative maintenance and attention to detail. The mileage is low for a vehicle of this age, recording 33,243 miles over six years, which averages to approximately 5,500 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, though it can occasionally lead to issues such as rubber-part degradation or brake corrosion. There is a notable gap of nearly 8,000 miles between the May 2025 and May 2026 tests, but the vehicle has remained consistently used throughout these periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the most recent test flagged thin rear artwork pads and a worn brake pedal surface. The presence of a missing bonnet stay and various items obscuring testable components indicates a lack of basic vehicle upkeep that should be addressed immediately. Furthermore, the previous failure regarding the engine management warning light in 2024 necessitates a diagnostic check to ensure no lingering electronic faults remain that were cleared without being rectified.
