2020 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.5L Petrol · SL20 AYM

The Volkswagen T-Roc has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness record over its MOT history, with the most recent test on 23 March 2026 confirming no defects at 49,799 miles. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three tests—including the current one—indicates the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks without major recurring issues. However, the duplicate entry for the 2025 test (both a pass and a fail at the same mileage) suggests a possible administrative error rather than a mechanical trend. No structural or safety-critical components have been flagged in the last two years, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear in areas like suspension bushes or coil springs, which are not routinely inspected under MOT regulations. The recorded mileage of 49,799 miles over six years reflects a consistent annual average of around 8,300 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the 2023 to 2024 interval—covering 7,169 miles—was slightly longer than the subsequent 6,113 miles between 2024 and 2025. This pattern suggests steady use without prolonged periods of neglect. The most recent test occurred just four months ago, which is well within the standard 12-month MOT validity period, though the next due date is approaching rapidly. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common wear items not always captured in MOT tests. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven through wet or heavy loads. Corrosion in wheel arches or sills, though not recorded, is a risk for a six-year-old vehicle, particularly if it has been parked outdoors or in coastal areas. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear should also be verified, as the absence of MOT failures here does not guarantee they have been maintained beyond the minimum legal limits.
