The Volkswagen T-Roc has always struck a smart balance between everyday usability and a hint of flair, and this 1.0 TSI Life exemplifies that ethos perfectly. Registered in March 2023 and showing just 14,000 miles, it feels barely run in, with the kind of tight, composed road manners you'd expect from a modern Volkswagen. The 1.0-litre TSI engine is a quiet achiever: smooth, responsive and impressively efficient, making it ideal for both urban duties and longer motorway runs. In Life trim, the T-Roc majors on comfort and quality, with a well-judged driving position and an interior that's logically laid out and pleasingly robust. The optional reversing camera is a welcome addition, taking the stress out of tight parking situations and underlining the car's everyday practicality. Refined, well built and easy to live with, this T-Roc is a compelling choice for drivers who value substance over gimmicks, and engineering that quietly gets on with the job.
