2018 Volkswagen T-ROC 2.0L Petrol · SP18 GCX

A consistent record of passing MOT tests is evident, though it is accompanied by a recurring pattern of consumable wear and minor component degradation over several years. While the latest test on 12 March 2026 was clean with no defects recorded, the preceding years showed a trend of advisories relating to tyres, brake discs, and suspension. The only recorded failure occurred in February 2021 and was limited to ineffective windscreen wipers, which were rectified on the same day. With 56,565 miles recorded over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,071 miles per year. This usage pattern is typical for its age, suggesting a steady application of miles rather than periods of prolonged standing or excessive long-distance use. Mechanically, this level of accumulation typically results in standard wear on suspension bushes and drivetrain components consistent with a vehicle of this age and mileage. Attention should be paid to the braking system and tyre condition, as these were flagged repeatedly between 2022 and 2024. Specifically, all four brake discs were noted as worn, pitted, or scored in March 2023, and rear tyres were flagged for cracking and perishing in March 2024. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or pulsing under braking, which would indicate that the previously pitted discs have not been replaced or have developed uneven wear. The shock absorber on the nearside front was recorded as having light oil misting in March 2025. Although the 2026 test was clean, the buyer should inspect the shock absorber casings for any signs of leakage and listen for knocks or excessive bouncing over uneven road surfaces. A physical check of the current tyre tread and sidewalls is necessary to ensure the previously flagged perishing and edge wear have been rectified with fresh rubber.
