2022 Volkswagen T-ROC Style TSI 1.5L Petrol · ND22 AEJ

This Volkswagen T-Roc Style TSI has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests, most recently passing on 22 July 2025 at just 15,455 miles. The absence of advisories or failings across both tests suggests the vehicle has been consistently roadworthy and free from major mechanical or structural issues. However, the most recent MOT was conducted over a year ago, on 26 July 2026, which means the vehicle has now exceeded its one-year MOT validity period. This is a critical observation—any vehicle without a current MOT cannot legally be used on public roads in the UK, and a new test is required to confirm its ongoing condition. The mileage pattern for this vehicle is unusually low for its age, with just 15,455 miles recorded over four years, averaging around 3,864 miles per annum. This suggests either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could impact certain components such as suspension bushes, which may degrade more rapidly when a vehicle sits unused. The gap between the May 2025 and July 2025 MOTs—covering 1,689 miles—was relatively short, indicating no extended periods of neglect during that window. However, the lack of intermediate maintenance records means there is no confirmation of regular servicing or proactive checks on fluid levels, brake pad wear, or tyre pressure. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, particularly the bushes and coil springs, as low mileage combined with potential standing periods could accelerate wear. The brakes, while not flagged in the MOT, should be closely examined for uneven pad thickness or glazing, as binding calipers or warped discs are often only detectable through a thorough mechanical check. Corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should also be assessed, as this is a common issue for vehicles of this age and construction. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be visually inspected for leaks or excessive soot, as these can indicate underlying engine or catalytic converter concerns that may not have been detected in the MOT process.
