AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 June 2025 at 98,383 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,800 miles per year. The record shows 59,230 miles at the October 2021 test, rising to 74,015 by November 2022, then 88,385 in November 2023, 92,867 in May 2024, and 98,383 by June 2025. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests covers just over 14,000 miles in thirteen months, the largest single interval, but no excessive accumulation or standing periods appear. The DVSA data is sparse in fault detail, with five consecutive passes and zero advisories logged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and near-100,000 mileage, as these components wear without always triggering MOT failures. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity advisories in the record is favourable, yet underside condition and exhaust emissions should be physically verified. Previous owners clearly kept the vehicle to a standard that satisfied examiners at every interval. No recurring mechanical faults emerge from the history to suggest deferred consumable replacement or neglected structural care.
