2018 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN1.4L Petrol

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 66,779 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 31 July 2024 at 59,092 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across its five-year MOT span. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,347 miles per year. The records trace a steady climb: 42,297 miles on 19 July 2022, 50,536 on 20 July 2023, 59,092 on 31 July 2024, and 66,779 on 4 September 2025. The two July 2024 entries at identical mileage show a fail on 29 July followed by a pass two days later, yet the tester logged no defects on either, implying an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag wear. The clean history offers no evidence of corrosion, exhaust emissions failure, or structural integrity loss, but MOT tests do not strip components. Verify the underside for rust and check the front calipers for free movement. The sparse but clean record suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current without deferred consumable replacement showing in advisories. Treat the lack of flagged tyre or wiper wear as a sign the car was presented in test-ready condition rather than proof of long-term component health.
