Our Verdict
This 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Edition TSI S-A offers good value with a clean MOT history, but buyers should address the tyre wear issues and verify service records.
Focus on inspecting the front tyres for uneven wear and ensure they’ve been replaced or addressed. Verify the service history for regular maintenance, particularly brake and suspension checks. While no common model-specific issues are noted, the R-Line trim’s sportier suspension may require closer scrutiny. Negotiate slightly for the tyre-related MOT failure, but overall this represents a low-risk purchase.
Petrol fuel economy is typical for a 1.5L TSI engine, with expected costs around £1.30-£1.40 per litre. Tax band is £155 annually (2022-2023) for CO2 emissions of 139g/km. Insurance group 21 is average for this class. Routine maintenance (oil changes, brake checks) should cost £100-£150 every 12,000 miles. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Check the front tyres for replacement records and uneven wear patterns. Inspect suspension components for wear, as R-Line models sometimes experience stiffer setups. Verify brake pad thickness and rotor condition. Review service records for any missed maintenance. Check for leaks under the vehicle and test all electronic systems, as Volkswagen’s infotainment can occasionally develop glitches.
The vehicle has a single MOT failure related to tyre wear, with mileage (18,136 miles) below average for its age. No model-specific reliability data is available, but the clean MOT history suggests generally reliable ownership. The petrol engine and Euro 6 AP compliance align with typical 2022 standards.
No aggregate MOT data exists for this exact model, but the Volkswagen Tiguan range generally shows average reliability with occasional issues around electrical systems and timing belts.
