How ULEZ rules apply to the T-Roc
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (80% of T-Rocs tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Diesel (20% of T-Rocs tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.

Buying a used Volkswagen T-Roc for London: what the MOT data shows
The Volkswagen T-Rocs in this data were first registered between 2018 and 2021. 2019 was the most common year, with 21,217 tests (39% of the total), and half were registered in 2019 or later.
Every T-Roc in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2021) passed first time 93% of the time at 21,757 miles on average, and the oldest (2018) passed 89% at 36,611 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the T-Roc's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (1.6% of tests); tyres: "has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords" (1.6%) and "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (1.3%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 11.3% of tests.
Overall, 91% of T-Rocs passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 30,161 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
