2020 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.0L Petrol · ML70 UMS

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 24,109 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend compared to previous years where specific tyre-related failures were identified. Since those faults were addressed, the vehicle currently meets all minimum legal safety and environmental standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a significant usage gap between the October 2023 test at 4,258 miles and the February 2025 test at 13,822 miles, where the car covered nearly 10,000 miles. While the low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it also increases the risk of component degradation due to vehicle sitting for extended periods. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the history shows recurring issues with cracking and perishing in both 2023 and 2025. Despite the clean 2026 pass, the rubber may be age-related regardless of tread depth. The inspection should also check for brake disc corrosion and seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust and sticking pistons when the system is not used frequently.
