2012 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Petrol · RV62 AEJ

The 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with all five consecutive MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent 2025-08-21 test at 34,913 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing a consistent maintenance record. No recurring issues or structural concerns were flagged across the six-year history, indicating the vehicle has been well-kept. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, though low mileage may mask some wear patterns. The vehicle’s mileage of 34,913 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 2,494 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This suggests either infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, and suspension. Notably, the 2021-08-26 test at 31,014 miles showed a 3,300-mile gap from the 2022-08-25 test, raising questions about potential storage or seasonal usage. Despite this, the MOT history remains unblemished, with no evidence of corrosion, exhaust leaks, or brake system faults. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which may degrade without regular stress. The exhaust system warrants scrutiny for hidden corrosion, as low mileage can delay visible signs of rust. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, though no such issues were recorded. Structural integrity appears intact, but a close examination of the underbody for flaking paint or rust spots is advisable, given the vehicle’s age and mileage profile.
