2022 Volkswagen T-ROC Active TDI EVO S-A 2.0L Diesel · Y31 DJC

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health on paper. The most recent MOT, conducted on 06 January 2026 at 28,910 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories. The preceding test on 07 January 2025 at 23,510 miles was equally unblemished. This establishes a stable and improving trend. No recurring mechanical or structural issues are evident in the official DVSA record. Mileage accumulation sits at approximately 7,228 miles per year, which is typical for a 2022-registered vehicle. The 5,400-mile gap between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests reflects consistent, moderate use rather than prolonged standing or high-stress motorway mileage. The record is sparse but entirely clean, with no failed tests or advisory flags to scrutinise. Despite the spotless MOT history, a buyer must still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The T-ROC's Active trim often sees urban use, so check the front suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar links for premature bush wear, even if not flagged. Inspect the rear brake discs and calipers for lipping or binding, a common issue on light-use diesel automatics that can evade MOT thresholds. Examine the exhaust system for early corrosion, particularly around the flexi-joint and mounting points. Structurally, inspect the inner wings, sills, and subframe mounting points for surface corrosion, as the vehicle is still within its early service life where factory protection should hold. Verify the condition of the tyres and the operation of the stop-start system, given the diesel powertrain. The MOT record offers no cause for concern, but physical verification of these components remains essential before purchase.
