2021 Volkswagen T-ROC SEL TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · YO71 CWR

The most recent MOT test conducted on 8 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the historical data, the vehicle demonstrates a highly stable maintenance trend, having passed its previous inspections without any noted mechanical failures or emerging concerns. This absence of recorded faults suggests a vehicle that has been kept in good order and is currently meeting all statutory roadworthiness requirements. With a recorded mileage of 19,411 miles over approximately five years, this vehicle has been used significantly less than the UK average, averaging roughly 3,882 miles per year. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension components, it can also indicate periods of prolonged inactivity. Such usage patterns shift the mechanical risk from wear-and-tear degradation to issues associated with standing, which requires a specific focus during the pre-purchase inspection. Given the clean MOT history and low usage, the buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rubber components and braking system. Check the tyre sidewalls carefully for signs of perishing or fine cracking, as tyres can degrade due to age even if the tread depth remains high. During the test drive, listen for any sticking or binding calipers and feel for pulsations through the brake pedal, which could indicate surface corrosion or pitting on the brake discs resulting from infrequent use. Attention must also be paid to the vehicle's service history to ensure that oil and other essential fluids have been changed based on time intervals rather than mileage alone, as fluid degradation occurs regardless of distance travelled. The health of the 12V battery should be verified, as low-mileage vehicles are more prone to battery discharge and premature failure. Finally, ensure the service book is fully stamped to confirm that the vehicle has not missed critical manufacturer-recommended maintenance milestones during its period of light use.
