2021 Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0L Petrol · PF21 GOU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 May 2026 at 4,467 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the latest test introduced the first advisory regarding rear brake discs being worn, pitted or scored. This represents a departure from the clean records of the previous two years, indicating that the components are beginning to show surface degradation despite the low usage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 893 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 2,931 miles and the May 2026 test at 4,467 miles, the car covered only 1,536 miles over two years. This suggests the vehicle likely sat for long periods, which often preserves engine-related components but can lead to surface corrosion on brake rotors and the degradation of rubber seals due to lack of regular mechanical exercise. A buyer should physically inspect the rear braking system to determine the extent of the pitting and scoring noted in the most recent report. Given the low mileage, this issue likely stems from moisture accumulation on the discs while stationary rather than heavy mechanical wear. Inspection should also focus on tyre condition for flat spots or dry cracking, as low-use vehicles often suffer from age-related rubber perish before tread depth becomes a concern.
