2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · C19 KGN

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 62,037 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a shift toward minor consumable-related issues rather than mechanical failures. While the vehicle consistently passes its tests, the history indicates a recurring pattern of minor inspection limitations, specifically regarding the obstruction of seat belt checks caused by the presence of rear child seats. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-duty use, averaging approximately 7,750 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between the 2022 test at 29,830 miles and the 2026 test at 62,037 miles, the vehicle covered 32,207 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not been subjected to extreme long-distance driving which protects the drivetrain, though the low annual mileage often means that rubber-based components may age regardless of distance driven. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and the braking system. The 2023 and 2024 tests flagged rear tyres for cracking and perishing, indicating that the rubber compound is reaching the end of its structural life despite sufficient tread. Additionally, the 2022 record noted front brake pads at 75% worn; a buyer must verify the current thickness of these pads and check the discs for scoring or thinning to ensure maintenance has followed through since that entry. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the suspension bushes for cracks is also advisable, as these are common points of failure on Tiguan models of this mileage.
