2022 Volkswagen T-ROC Active TSI EVO 1.0L Petrol · SW71 EUU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 18,393 miles resulted in a pass despite advising that both the nearside and offside front tyres were nearing the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows an advisory from January 2025 regarding thin rear brake pads, suggesting that the owner waits for components to reach failure point or a critically low threshold before scheduling replacements. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles annually. Between the January 2025 test and the January 2026 test, the car covered 4,891 miles. While this low usage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components, the interval between tests can sometimes lead to issues such as flat-spotting tyres or corrosion on the brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between driving sessions. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry in person to account for the edge wear noted on the front tyres in the latest MOT. This pattern often points to misaligned tracking, worn suspension bushes, or incorrect tyre pressures. Given the previous warning on the rear pads, a physical check of the remaining pad life and rotor condition is necessary to ensure the calipers have not seized or pitted due to the low mileage and potential infrequent use.
