2018 Volkswagen T-ROC 1.5L Petrol · YY68 WCC

The Volkswagen T-Roc presents a clean MOT history over the past three years, with the most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 86,518 miles showing no defects. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, at least in terms of meeting DVSA roadworthiness criteria. The only irregularity is the duplicate entry for November 2024—one pass and one fail at almost identical mileages (77,995 and 77,990)—which may indicate a clerical error or a brief oversight, but neither test recorded any mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or defects across all five tests implies no recurring problems with brakes, suspension, or structural integrity, though this does not preclude hidden wear beyond MOT scope. The mileage accumulation of roughly 10,800 miles per year aligns closely with the vehicle’s age, suggesting either moderate use or periods of inactivity rather than aggressive driving. The most recent test in October 2025 is only nine months old, which is unusually current for a used car—most vehicles of this age would have had an MOT within the past 12 months, but this one has gone nearly a year without one. While not illegal, this gap raises questions about whether the vehicle has been driven extensively since then or if the owner has delayed testing. The previous tests in November 2024 and 2023 were both within a week of each other, which is standard, but the lack of any mileage progression between the two 2024 entries is puzzling and may warrant clarification. Given the spotless MOT record, a buyer should still verify key components in person, particularly those not routinely checked under the MOT. Pay close attention to the suspension—specifically the condition of coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—since these are not always thoroughly inspected unless visibly damaged. The brakes should be tested for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven heavily between tests. Exhaust emissions and fuel system integrity are also worth checking, as these can degrade without obvious symptoms. Finally, inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as rust progression in these areas can compromise structural integrity over time. While the MOT history is reassuring, a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains essential.
