2018 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.5L Petrol · WG68 LCV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 50,474 miles. While the car passed the inspection, the report reveals a significant and sudden decline in basic mechanical maintenance standards. The tester flagged all four tyres as worn close to the legal limit with noted uneven wear. This indicates a shift from a stable to neglected state regarding consumable items compared to the clean records seen in previous years. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between November 2022 and February 2023, where the car covered only 400 miles in three months. Since the February 2024 test, usage has accelerated significantly, covering over 22,500 miles in just two years. This sudden increase in activity likely correlates with the transition from a defect-free history to the current wear-and-tear issues on the tyre-related components observed in the 2026 entry. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry. The uneven wear reported across all four tyres in the 2026 test suggests potential issues with wheel alignment, worn suspension bushes, or faulty ball joints. If these underlying causes are not addressed, any new set of tyres will suffer premature degradation. The buyer should also check the brake discs for thinning or binding calipers, as the record does not specifically flag brake issues despite the recent increase in mileage and use.
