VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2021 · 2.0L DIESEL

The most recent MOT was conducted on 28 April 2026 at 82,171 miles and resulted in a pass, but the history highlights a specific and developing issue with the front braking system. The tester recorded advisories for front brake discs that are worn but not excessively, alongside front brake pads that are wearing thin. There is a clear worsening trend regarding these components compared to the previous year. In May 2025 at 64,713 miles, the only advisory was for the front brake discs being worn. By the recent test, the mileage has increased by over 17,000 miles, and the wear has progressed to the point where the pads are now also flagged as thin. This indicates the front brakes are reaching the end of their service life and will likely require replacement imminently. The vehicle is approximately five years old with a recorded mileage of 82,171 miles, equating to an annual average of roughly 16,434 miles. This is high for its age and suggests the car has been subjected to heavy use, likely involving significant motorway driving or long-distance commuting. While such usage can be good for the engine, it naturally accelerates the wear on consumables like tyres, suspension, and drivetrain parts. Aside from the expected degradation of the front brakes, the MOT history is clean, with no defects recorded during the 2024 test.
