Our take on the Volkswagen T-Roc
A 2023 Volkswagen T-Roc typically advertises at €27,950 and a 2018 one at €16,000, so it loses roughly 11% of its value a year at that age. At the NCT, the 2018–2022 cars do better than other cars the same year. The 2.0 diesel is the most common engine (43% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 350k km.

Common Volkswagen T-Roc problems
Known weak spots to check before you buy, with typical Irish garage costs if the problem is there.
Automatic gearbox health · €300–€2,500
Make sure the gear changes are smooth when warm, check for a gearbox warning light and ask if the gearbox oil was ever changed.
Timing belt history · €350–€700
Ask when the timing belt and water pump were last done (usually every 160,000 km or 5–6 years). No proof = budget for it.
