2020 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.5L Petrol · RJ20 FMD

The 2025‑07‑11 MOT at 39,183 miles confirms the Volkswagen T‑ROC remains roadworthy, with no major mechanical failures recorded. The tester flagged near‑side rear and off‑side rear tyres perishing (5.2.3(d)(ii)) and a near‑side front tyre worn close to the legal limit (5.2.3(e)). The vehicle has passed its MOT annually since 2023, indicating a stable maintenance record, though the recurring tyre defects suggest infrequent tyre replacement. Mileage has risen steadily from 22,953 miles in July 2023 to 31,473 miles in July 2024 (an increase of 8,520 miles) and then to 39,183 miles in July 2025 (7,710 miles), reflecting consistent annual usage rather than long periods of inactivity. The average annual mileage of roughly 6,530 miles aligns with typical usage for a six‑year‑old vehicle. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the rear and front brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for corrosion. The exhaust system and structural rust should also be assessed, as the MOT record shows no explicit defects beyond the tyre issues. While the MOT record shows no structural or mechanical defects beyond the tyre issues, the buyer must confirm that the tyre wear is not symptomatic of deeper alignment or suspension problems and should request evidence of recent tyre replacement and a full brake system check before finalising the purchase.
