2019 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Tech TDI 4M SA 2.0L Diesel · M26 SBJ

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 28,504 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2023, suggesting the car has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is notably low for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,072 miles per year. Between September 2023 and January 2026, the odometer rose from 20,818 to 28,504 miles, confirming a steady but light usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or periods of extreme neglect. The record shows a failure on 14 June 2025, though the vehicle passed two days later at the same mileage of 25,788. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for either the failure or the subsequent pass, this likely indicates a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The total absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion over several years is uncommon and indicates a well-preserved chassis. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade due to inactivity rather than wear. Low-mileage diesel vehicles can suffer from carbon buildup in the EGR valve or DPF if they lack frequent long-distance runs. Check for perished tyre sidewalls or flat spots and verify that the brake calipers are not seizing from underuse, as the MOT record provides no evidence of these common low-mileage issues.
