2021 Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0L Petrol · SL21 AHN

The Volkswagen T-Cross presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 6 January 2026 at 42,894 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record. The vehicle cleared every pass test without advisories, and the two failure entries from 18 January 2024 and 6 January 2026 both show no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at a modest 8,579 miles against the car's five-year life, with the odometer reading 27,119 miles in January 2024, 33,062 miles in January 2025, and 42,894 miles in January 2026. The yearly increment of roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles is consistent and shows no sudden accumulation or prolonged standing. The DVSA data is sparse, carrying only pass and defect-free failure lines, so no wear patterns on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion emerge from the history itself. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable items the MOT did not flag. The clean record gives no evidence of binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emissions breaches, yet a car of this mileage can hide minor play in steering joints or surface rust on subframes not caught in a visual test. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures with the DVLA, as repeated test centre rejects without faults suggest clerical mismatch rather than owner neglect. Given the absence of advisories across four years, previous keepers appear to have maintained the T-Cross to a standard that satisfied testers without flagged wear. The low recorded mileages and clean sheets imply light use and basic upkeep, though in-person checks on tyre tread depth and brake pad thickness remain sensible before purchase.
