2019 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.6L Diesel · T40 GAW

A consistent record of roadworthiness is evident across five tests, with no failures recorded since 2022. While the history has been largely clear of defects, the most recent pass on 19 May 2026 indicates a shift toward tyre wear and degradation, marking a departure from the clean sheets of 2024 and 2025. The recorded mileage of 39,609 miles represents a low annual accumulation rate of approximately 5,658 miles over the vehicle's seven-year lifespan. This usage pattern typically results in lower wear on major drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage equivalents, though it can lead to the perishing of rubber components due to age rather than friction. Immediate attention is required for the tyre condition flagged in the May 2026 test. The nearside front tyre is noted as being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear, while the offside rear tyre is recorded as damaged or perishing. A physical inspection should be conducted to check for uneven tread wear across the width of the tyres, which could indicate alignment issues or suspension geometry problems. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any steering pull or vibration through the steering wheel, which may correlate with the recorded edge wear on the front tyre. Given the advisory regarding perishing on the rear tyre, a close visual check for sidewall cracking is essential. No other mechanical defects such as brake binding or suspension knocks have been flagged in the DVSA history, but a thorough check of the current tyre depths and sidewall integrity is the primary mechanical priority.
