2020 Volkswagen T-Cross SEL TDI S-A 1.6L Diesel · MA20 UTM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 21 November 2025 at 31,883 miles. The tester recorded thin front brake pads and a severely deteriorated CV joint boot on the nearside front axle. Apart from these advisories the test was a pass, indicating the maintenance trend is stable after the tyre failure recorded in 2023. At six years old the car has logged just under 32,000 miles, roughly 5,300 miles per annum – well below the average for its class. Between June 2023 and May 2024 the odometer rose only about 1,000 miles, suggesting light use. The jump to over 11,000 miles between September 2024 and November 2025 points to a recent increase in utilisation, but the record shows no prolonged periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front brake pads and replace them if the remaining thickness approaches the minimum limit. The CV joint boot that was flagged as perished must be inspected for grease leakage and potential axle damage; replacement of the boot and resealing is advisable. Given the 2023 tyre defect, all four tyres merit close visual examination for sidewall cracks, lumps or tread separation, and tyre pressures should be checked. The suspension should be felt for any play in the bushes or coil springs, especially after the recent mileage surge. Finally, ensure that any child‑seat fittings do not obstruct the adult seatbelts and that the vehicle shows no signs of corrosion around the wheel arches or undercarriage.
