2020 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.5L Petrol · RE20 PRX

The 2025‑12‑18 MOT at 33,089 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. Earlier tests from 2023 to 2024 show recurring tyre wear and a 2024 failure for an inoperative engine MIL, indicating earlier mechanical concerns that have since been addressed. The latest pass suggests the issues may be resolved, though the tyre wear pattern remains a point of attention. The vehicle’s 33,089 miles at six years of age equate to an average of 5,515 miles per year, a figure lower than typical for a 2020 model and suggestive of limited use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage jumps from 17,760 miles in November 2023 to 25,569 miles by December 2024 represent an increase of 7,809 miles over 13 months, and another 7,387 miles were added between December 2024 and December 2025, indicating periods of rapid usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the front tyres for the edge wear and the cut noted in the 2024 and 2025 records, checking tread depth and sidewall integrity, and verify that any replacement follows the manufacturer’s specifications. The suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, especially the rear brakes for binding, merit close examination. Any corrosion on the chassis or structural damage near the wheel arches where the tyre cut may have originated should also be assessed. Given the history of tyre defects and the brief period during which the engine MIL was flagged, the purchaser ought to confirm that the MIL remains off and that any recent tyre replacement was performed with correct fitting and balancing, ensuring the vehicle’s long‑term reliability.
