2020 Volkswagen T-Cross SEL TDI S-A 1.6L Diesel · MB 6049

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 22 December 2025 at 11,019 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This clean record across the last four annual tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters without any signs of recurring failure or progressive deterioration. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,836 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 6,460 miles and the December 2025 test at 11,019 miles, the car covered only 4,559 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short-distance urban trips or remained stationary for significant periods of time. While this low mileage preserves wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it can sometimes lead to issues with rubber seals and fluid degradation if not monitored. Because the MOT history shows no mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on specific areas associated with low-mileage cars. A buyer needs to check for brake glazing or corrosion on the discs, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear surface rust. The inspector should also examine the tyres for sidewall cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Checking the suspension bushes for dry rot is also prudent to ensure the low mileage has not caused the components to become brittle.
