The T-Roc uses gas-charged bonnet struts to hold the bonnet open, so you are looking for the right part. There is one strut on each side of the engine bay (NS and OS), and both are the same part number, so one used strut is all you need if only one has failed.
The T-Roc was facelifted in 2022, at which point the front end - including the bonnet, lights and grille - was revised. Because the bonnet itself changed at that facelift, the strut geometry and mounting points may also differ between pre-2022 and 2022-onwards cars. Confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying a strut from the other side of that boundary.
Both the 2018 and 2021 T-Roc sit in the pre-facelift generation (2017-2022 build), so the bonnet and its supporting components are the same across those two years. A strut from either year should be directly interchangeable, but always confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration to be certain.
Trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the T-Roc - the same strut is used across SE, Style, R-Line and other variants within the same generation. Engine choice and four-wheel drive or front-wheel drive layout make no difference either, so a strut pulled from any T-Roc of the same generation and facelift period should suit your car.
These two cars sit either side of the 2022 facelift, which brought a revised bonnet and front-end styling, so the struts may not be the same. Whether they actually interchange is something you should confirm with the breaker using your registration number, as a strut that physically looks similar may have different mounting geometry or length.
Unlike shock absorbers on an axle, bonnet struts do not need to be replaced in pairs - if only one has failed, a single used strut is perfectly fine. That said, if both struts are original and high-mileage, a breaker can often supply a matched pair cheaply, which is worth considering to avoid the same job again shortly afterwards.
