Insight summary

Volkswagen T-Roc Life Tsi is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 13,186 represented vehicles and 0.03% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 90.9% from 7,644 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 52. The current pool shows an average of 25,520 miles and an average age of 3.0 years. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by other, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, windscreen damage and lighting. The practical read is that the Volkswagen T-Roc Life Tsi looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
