Volkswagen T-Roc Active Tsi Evo S-A: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Volkswagen T-Roc Active Tsi Evo S-A passes its MOT first time more often than the average UK car, by 17.9 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 1,014 individual Volkswagen T-Roc Active Tsi Evo S-A tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.

The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 94.6% first-time pass rate means roughly 5 in every 100 Volkswagen T-Roc Active Tsi Evo S-As presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Volkswagen T-Roc Active Tsi Evo S-A tested had covered 21,692 miles and was built around 2021.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Volkswagen T-Roc Active Tsi Evo S-A sits 17.9 points above the national average, ranked 82 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
