2022 Volkswagen T-ROC R-Line TSI 1.5L Petrol · PY72 AZU

This Volkswagen T-Roc R-Line TSI shows a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 4 June 2025 with no defects recorded at exactly 7,944 miles. The absence of advisories or failings in the single available test suggests the vehicle has not experienced any recurring mechanical issues requiring attention. However, the test date is now 13 months old, placing it beyond the recommended 12-month interval for MOTs, particularly given the low mileage. While the record does not indicate any structural or drivetrain concerns, the lack of a recent inspection means critical components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers—have not been professionally assessed in over a year. The recorded mileage of 7,944 miles over approximately four years equates to an average of just under 2,000 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and specification. Such low mileage could imply limited use or prolonged periods of storage, both of which may accelerate wear on fluids, seals, and rubber components if not properly maintained. There are no intermediate MOT tests or service records to confirm whether the vehicle was regularly driven or stored, but the consistent low mileage does not raise immediate red flags for high-wear items like tyres or brakes. However, it does warrant scrutiny of items prone to degradation from inactivity, such as battery health and suspension grease retention. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common failure points on this model. The binding calipers advisory from the 2023 test suggests potential brake wear or fluid contamination, so the condition of brake discs, pads, and hydraulic lines should be thoroughly checked. Additionally, the lack of recent MOT data means the structural integrity of wheel arches, sills, and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, especially in areas prone to road salt or moisture ingress. Finally, the battery and electrical connections should be assessed, as low mileage increases the risk of sulphation or terminal corrosion.
