2020 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN SEL TDI2.0L HEAVY OIL

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy; the most recent MOT test from 27 November 2024 at 40 538 miles has long since expired, leaving the car without a valid certificate as of 30 July 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable— no defects were recorded during that test— but the absence of a recent inspection means any emerging issues remain unverified. Consequently, a prospective buyer must arrange a new MOT and a thorough pre‑purchase inspection before considering the Tiguan roadworthy. Mileage accumulation over the car’s six‑year life averages roughly 6 756 miles per year, which sits within the typical range for a 2020 model. The single data point at 40 538 miles provides a clear baseline but offers no insight into year‑by‑year wear patterns or periods of inactivity. Without intermediate service records, the buyer cannot confirm whether the mileage progression was steady or punctuated by long storage periods that could affect battery health, tyre condition, or fluid degradation. Given the clean MOT history, attention should focus on components that are not fully validated by the test. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, check the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and examine the exhaust system for rust or leaks. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition are critical, as is the condition of the wheel arches for structural rust. Finally, review any service logs or invoices to confirm regular oil changes, filter replacements, and coolant flushes, as these consumables are not reflected in the MOT record.
